Ben, All the globalstar launch upper stages whether US launched on
Delta's or Russian launched on a Soyuz, do a burn after releasing
the satellites to deliberately lower the perigee of the orbit
so they decay quickly. This is of course a desireable action to reduce
the amount of useless objects in orbit.
