Comment Method for De-orbiting Other Satellites (Score 1) 19

I agree with other posts that repairing random satellites in orbit is far-fetched at best, but I think the de-orbiting function has potential. They could use an electromagnetic linear actuator to push the designated satellite down, while the equal and opposite reaction would lift the orbot to a higher orbit, lengthening its stay in space and reducing its fuel use.
