Leo starts at 7.8 kilometers per second and speed plus secondary and subsequent collisions with very small debris makes it impractical. Also carrying fuel to react frequently would dramatically change the entire mission.

If your non refuelable sat is good for 6 months it probably no longer makes sense to launch it.
