I was reading about SpaceX wanting to put up 5K satellites, with these put in a low enough orbit that they would need to be periodically boosted to stay up, and simply falling out of the sky within a few months if they malfunction or run out of fuel. This makes me wonder about how small a satellite would need to be to be assured of burning up completely - lest we get man-made "meteors".
