Product Name: Novel Satellite Deorbiting Method Can Help Mitigate Space Debris Crisis
Manufacturer Name: Aerospace
Product Description: The novel satellite deorbiting method developed by The Aerospace Corporation addresses the escalating crisis of space debris in low Earth orbit (LEO). As the number of satellites is projected to surge over the next decade, the risk of collisions between active and inactive satellites, as well as other debris, significantly increases. Current deorbiting practices primarily rely on atmospheric drag, which often leaves small satellites in orbit long after their operational life, contributing to the self-sustaining cycle of space junk. This innovative technology aims to enhance the safe disposal of satellites, thereby minimizing the potential for further debris generation and ensuring a sustainable environment for future space missions.
