DragSail Systems for Satellite Deorbit and Targeted Reentry
Abstract
In this paper, a square pyramid dragsail is evaluated for long-term deorbit and targeted reentry. Through parametric studies and Monte Carlo analyses, dragsail performance is shown for a range of host satellite orbit and mass characteristics.
