Just for the record, "deorbit burn sequence" is what you do to a satellite when it's no longer useful and you don't want it cluttering up space around the planet that it's orbiting. Like what's going to happen to the Iridium satellites because no one wants to pay to keep them working. You fire its rockets/thrusters to cause it to drop out of orbit and (hopefully) burn up or fall harmlessly into an ocean. I wouldn't have written the commit message that way, but it was good for a chuckle when I read it.
