A deorbit is a retrograde burn that brings the satellite down.
# In the satellite's details, press '''Deorbit…'''. The globe shows where it will fall.
# Check when and where it reenters, the burn and the sessions that will end.
# Press '''Fire deorbit burn'''. The burn can't be undone.

The satellite is then '''Deorbiting'''. It keeps working until it reaches 80 km and burns up; the '''Reentry''' panel counts down to that moment. Its sessions then end and it leaves the map.
