While still being important, I'd like to draw people's attention to the fact that this is a satellite a long way away from Earth, and is not in any significant danger of causing low Earth orbit to become a no-go area. It's remotely possible that it might cause a problem out at geostationary orbit, but that's very unlikely. There's a lot more space out there and most satellites are all moving in the same direction and at the same speed, making it a lot safer than low Earth orbit.
