Not to rain on anyone's parade, but space debris is already a sufficiently serious problem that active removal has been seriously considered. (Nobody wants a runaway Kessler scenario!)
"A magnetic, passive attitude control system is in place which will keep the TARDIS's camera pointing toward the planet"
Can anyone explain this bit? The project doesn't bother to. As far as I can see, it's just a box with no control systems or means of adjusting its position or orientation.
And why the on-board camera? Is it just filming stuff for some future alien race to collect, because there's no means for the data to get sent back down...

Has deorbit of this model TARDIS been considered?
