I am kind of wondering what happened to about 100 of those SpaceX satellites that apparently have disappeared: Starlink sats are designed to do a controlled deorbit at end of life. IIRC, two or three of the 100 made uncontrolled reentries.

I think that all items launched into space ought to have a way to de-orbit it in a controlled way when it nears the end of it’s useful life. There are thousands of pieces of space junk because they have no method of being deorbited.

So what happened to the other 97 or 98?
To: Oil Object Insp
They made controlled reentry using the deorbiting capability.
