Or do the opposite and use a hall effect thruster in order to maintain your altitude and velocity. Which is what Starlink has designed their LEO satellites to do, in order to have a natural failsafe in the event of a failure [1]. Though speculatively I've read that making sure the optics burn up in deorbit is a major problem to adding inter satellite laser links.
