Abstract:

Increasing Space Debris is the most concern vicinity for space agencies, space scientist and space explores nowadays, as threat of collision with expensive satellites, space probes, international space station, spacecrafts and various other space objects is amplify extensively. Hence it becomes prior requirement to find out the solution for removal of debris especially in Low Earth Orbit known as LEO. This paper puts a light on one of possible solution for removal of space debris. The idea is to develop mechanism entitled De-Orbit mechanism. The proposed mechanism is quite simple method for de-orbiting satellite from LEO. The expected mechanism will use incredibly light atmosphere available in LEO and mechanism follows fundamental principle of drag force. This mechanism is designed specially to remove dead or dysfunctional small satellite from the LEO.
