Hevin, I think it was clear from the background to earlier discussions surrounding the transition to the JWST that HST has to be removed from orbit in a controlled manner because of the possibility of parts surviving re-entry. Bow this has to involve attaching a rocket to it to lower the perigee. I guess the target zone would be the same area as the Compton was dumped in, the ocean between Hawaii and California.
