The second presentation, on Thursday, was given by Ewelina Ryszawa. Titled “Design and development of the deorbit system for microsatellites”, it described the deorbitation sail and its deployment mechanism. The paper was written with collaboration with Maciej Kania and Mateusz Sobiecki, the members of DT (Deployment Team).
Participating in IAC 2015 is a valuable chance for us to grow and make new contacts. We hope to find, among the lecturers, guests of the IAC and members of the biggest space exploration institutions, people interested in idea of satellite deorbitation, CubeSat development and Polish space industry. We are proud and happy to show our project during the IAC.
