    Actually it does make sense from the perspective that any 'sensitive' bits
    that survive land in your NORAD partners backyard, that and the debris field
    can be tracked by our optical CASTOR network. If you want the best
    monitored/controlled airspace for this sort of thing it doesn't get any
    better.
    
    Most of the pass is over high latitude areas up here, sparse population is a
    given ... we're pretty 'spread out':=) We've also have had some previous
    experience in joint satellite cleanup/recovery exercises (Cosmos 954), just
    in case there is an alternate power source onboard.
