				<p class="editable">Our deployment orbit has a planned orbital lifetime of 6 months. After this period, the atmospheric drag will have lowered the orbit of eSats and possible debris to an atmosperic reentry. This way we ensure the long-term mitigation of space debris, allowing future generation the access to space.</p>
