It's one more piece of junk for NASA to calculate their shuttle launches around... that is what it is. unless of course if falls out of the sky and burns up.
The shuttle can only go out to 300 miles or so. That's why the Hubble and the ISS are at that altitude. Geosynchronous Comsats are 23,000 miles out, about 76 times as far. And Geo Comsats don't fall back to Earth. They use the last of their fuel to boost themselves out to a graveyard orbit. -- One man's Magic is another man's Engineering.
