One of the contributors on the DS forums has posted that the deorbit manoeuvers started for poor old 1A at lunchtime on Dec 2nd. Its being boosted to a graveyard slot

It would have been 16 on Dec 11th.

What am I offered for something with 10 billion miles on the clock and 6 years past its sell by date.

One careful owner (buyer has to arrange collection!) :p :D
