Reboost
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reboost is the process of boosting the altitude of an artificial satellite, to increase the time until its orbit will decay and it re-enters the atmosphere. For example, the International Space Station has been given a reboost by the Space Shuttle, the Progress resupply vehicle and the Jules Verne ATV every time they docked in, because it is in a low-Earth orbit which experiences significant atmospheric drag.
