摘要
This study introduces an effective propellantless space debris mitigation scheme for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Mechanizing an aerodynamic sail and electrodynamic tether system provides LEO small satellites a deorbiting capability that meets the time limit of 25 years required by the U.S. Government and European Space Agency (ESA). Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technical approach.
