<p>This document specifies requirements for the following:</p>
<p>— planning for disposal of a spacecraft operating at geosynchronous altitude to ensure that final disposal is sufficiently characterized and that adequate propellant will be reserved for the manoeuvre;</p>
<p>— selecting final disposal orbits where the spacecraft will not re-enter the operational region within the next 100 years;</p>
<p>— executing the disposal manoeuvre successfully;</p>
<p>— depleting all energy sources on board the vehicle before the end of its life to minimize the possibility of an event that can produce debris.</p>
<p>This document provides techniques for planning and executing the disposal of space hardware that reflect current internationally accepted guidelines and consider current operational procedures and best practices.</p>
