Satellite de-orbit

So, a while back there was a challenge to de-orbit a probe core with as small a craft as possible. I didn't attempt it at the time, but this happened to me in game this morning.

As part of a ScanSAT mission, I was given the optional task of de-orbiting a satellite I had put into orbit on a previous mission.

So I've burned to come almost straight down.

It's started breaking up. I figured it would burn up quick

Oh my! It survived re-entry, and started spinning really fast

And what's left of it..on the ground
