SpaceX deorbited 260 Starlink satellites from December 2025 to May 2026, including 176 first-generation and 84 second-generation units. The company proactively deorbits satellites to prevent accidents, targeting open oceans. Only about 5 percent of satellite mass may survive re-entry, falling as small fragments.
