A method and a device for deorbiting artificial satellites from Earth orbit, the artificial satellite having multilayer insulation, at least partially detaches at least one layer of the multilayer insulation from the artificial satellite. Due to detachment of the layer, the underlying satellite structure is exposed to environmental influences. This exposure accelerates the self-disintegration of the artificial satellite, and thereby reduces the mass and increases the ballistic coefficient. Splaying out the layer augments its cross-sectional area and leads due to energy reduction to a premature re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. A number of layers can be arranged here so that regardless of a rotation of the satellite, at least one surface is always directed against the aerodynamic flow.
