Many satellites contain propellant tanks used for repositioning the satellite. They also use solar arrays to collect energy from the sun. When the satellite runs out of fuel it is said to have reached its end of life and will either burn up in the earths atmosphere or will be put in another orbit, such as super synchronous orbit. This allows a replacement satellite to be launched and put in the same orbit but prevents over population of that particular orbit.
