CHARON
Project Topic: Drag Sails for Small Satellites
Description: Project CHARON aims to provide an autonomous module that uses a drag sail to deorbit a satellite. CHARON aims to combat the congoing threat of orbital debris due to the increasing deployment of low Earth orbiting satellites. Specifically, this system will help missions meet the FCC requirement that all low Earth orbit satellites deorbit within five years of the end of their missions. Ìý
