Do we have any information about end of mission scenarios? At least the main spacecraft, and eventually the subsatellites, should impact as the orbits evolve and are not maintained. The subsatellites are probably not controllable to target an impact as SMART-1 was targeted, but the main spacecraft could be controlled.
