2017 the ESA Space Debris office released a paper proposing that a Tundra-like orbit be used as a disposal orbit for old high-inclination geosynchronous satellites, as opposed to traditional graveyard orbits.

Properties

A typical Tundra orbit has the following properties:

* Inclination: 63.4°
* Argument of perigee: 270°
* Period: 1436 minutes
* Eccentricity: 0.24-0.4
* Semi-major axis:
