Summary edit

Description
English: Debris and defunct launcher stages in the Geostationary ring. Aging satellites are known to release debris and explosions can occur due to residual energy sources. The resulting fragments can be thrown back and cross the Geostationary orbit. For this reason it's fundamental to release residual energy once the nominal mission is completed.
