Description

DEorbiting SpaceCrafts using ElectrodyNamic Tethers (“DESCENT”)

This mission entails the development and launch of a CubeSat Electrodynamic Tether Deorbit Experiment. The key questions of the mission are centered on the tether electrodynamics and spacecraft deorbit using an electrodynamic tether (“EDT”). The DESCENT mission will fly a 2U-CubeSat electrodynamic tether system that will be built and launched from the International Space Station. The launch will take place by March 2019. The mission will demonstrate the feasibility of deorbiting spacecraft or space debris by EDTs. The operation and observation of CubeSat EDT deorbit process will take place over its entire orbital lifetime, which is expected to be roughly 2 months.

Launch a 2U cubesat made by York University into space.
