They cant really bring it down unless they want a place to get destroyed which will cause money to pay for the land and if they bring it down, the satellite can also get destroyed in the process which will cause even more money.
True Though initially designed for refueling, NASA plans to expand the capabilities of Restore-L to include other maintenance activities that will extend the life of an orbiting spacecraft. “Restore-L effectively breaks the paradigm of one-and-done spacecraft,” says Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office (SSCO) Associate Director Frank Cepollina in a prepared statement. Once deployed, the robot could act as a gas station in space, providing satellites with much-needed propellant. On the maintenance side, the robot one day may be able to manufacture and assemble components in space and use them to service a satellite. It also may be used to reduce space accidents by removing space junk from orbit.
I would say 60 feet. Yards is what you would use to measure a foot ball field. It's way to big of a measurment for a telephone pole. Feet make sense because they are not to big, but not to small. ~Silver
