    Round about 15 years ol sats run out of fuel and start to drift, once they drift they are scrap.

    The company plans to launch the satellite by 2015 and place it near geostationary orbit about 22,369 miles (36,000 kilometers) above Earth, where many commercial satellites reside. In addition to Intelsat, MDA plans to court numerous commercial and government clients. Oldham said he anticipates widespread demand for the refueling satellite's services.
    The satellite insurance industry, which must pay out funds to insured companies when their satellites fail, may also look to the new MDA satellite to attempt repairs on satellite that would otherwise represent a huge financial loss, company officials said.
