Specifically i think starlink satellites do not have any boosting thrusters, the reason important LEO satellites like the ISS don't burn up unless intended is due to those
starlink satellites do not have any boosting thrusters
Starlink satellites actually do have Hall-effect ion thrusters, and can raise and lower their their own orbits. Though like any spacecraft, they still have a finite amount of fuel and will eventually deorbit.
Starlink sattelites operate in a low orbit that decays over time. They all fall back to earth eventually.
