A passive satellite deorbiting strategy for medium earth orbit using solar radiation pressure and the J2 effect
The growing population of space debris poses a serious risk to the future of space flight. To effectively manage the increase of debris in orbit, end-of life disposal has become a key requirement for future missions. This poses a challenge for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) spacecraft which require a larg...
