Mass De-Orbit Sample Clauses
The Mass De-Orbit clause establishes requirements and procedures for the coordinated removal of multiple satellites or spacecraft from orbit, typically at the end of their operational life. This clause outlines the conditions under which a group of satellites must be de-orbited, the timeline for such actions, and the responsibilities of the parties involved in ensuring safe and controlled re-entry. Its core practical function is to mitigate the risk of space debris accumulation by ensuring that large numbers of satellites are removed from orbit in a planned and responsible manner.
Mass De-Orbit. A Mass De-orbit occurs (where Mass De-orbit means a de-orbit of the entire Block One system pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Contract, the Transition Services Agreement and/or the Boeing O&M Agreement, as applicable).
