Abstract
At Cranfield Space Research Centre two different solutions have already been developed as de-orbit sail payloads for microsatellites (Icarus-1 on TechDemoSat-1 and Icarus-3 on Carbonite-1 currently on-orbit, DOM for future ESA ESEO mission). This study will provide a useful input to improve and refine the current de-orbit concepts for future satellite missions.
