Public award description
NASA INTENDS TO PLACE SMALL SPACECRAFT (<100KG) AND VERY SMALL SPACECRAFT (<15KG) INTO A VARIETY OF ORBITS. METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES ARE NEEDED TO INTENTIONALLY DE-ORBIT THESE SPACECRAFT AT END OF MISSION, OR UPON LOSS OF CONTROL AND FUNCTION. CTD HAS DEVELOPED A FAMILY OF HIGHLY MASS EFFICIENT ROLL-OUT DE-ORBITING DEVICES (RODEO). RODEO PROVIDES A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE DEPLOYED SURFACE AREA, RESULTING IN HIGHER AERODYNAMIC DRAG AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED TIME UNTIL SATELLITE RE-ENTRY. RODEO'S COMPOSITE BOOMS SELF-DEPLOY WITH NO EXTERNAL SPACECRAFT POWER, AND THE INHERENT SIMPLICITY OF RODEO RESULTS IN EXTREMELY LOW COSTS, LOW MASS, AND LOW POWER.
