RT by @CopernicusEU: Sentinel-1B, the second satellite of the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel1 mission, completed its disposal process – lowering its orbit and passivating its systems to ensure reentry into Earth’s atmosphere within 25 years.

This careful operation highlights the EU and ESA’s commitment to space safety and sustainability and provides valuable experience for the disposal of current and future spacecraft.
