This paper focuses on the active removal of spent upper stages from LEO using de-orbiting devices. It proposes a method of regulating aerodynamic loads on the target during its re-entry by utilizing the features of spatial attitude motion. A mathematical model of the re-entry process is developed, and numerical simulations are conducted, demonstrating that the nature of the attitude motion during the descent influences the load factors and, thus, the breakup altitude. It is shown that the respective de-orbiting devices should control both the initial tumbling and spin of the target to achieve different mission outcomes, such as minimizing the debris footprint size or maximizing the breakup altitude.
