Numerical study of rocket upper stage deorbiting using passive electrodynamic tether drag
The purpose of this article is a numerical study of the possibility of deorbiting a rocket upper stage from low Earth orbit at EOM (end of mission) by means of passive electrodynamic tether drag. The article is structured as follows: the introduction presents the space debris problem in low Earth or...
