If I may add to your maneuvering suggestion Samudra,
--------------
I like to see a selection of deorbiting concepts tried.
This to be done in a manner similar to previous satellites have been
launched from the ISS. 
Maybe one launched every other day while the ISS is over head during a
space walk 
so TLM and tracking beacons are available for info collection.
As long as the LEO concept is in need of de orbiting and not the HEO bird
it
appears at the rate cube sats are being launched deorbiting will get very
serious shortly.
