Research abstract

Generation Orbit proposes to develop a low-cost, liquid deorbit stage specifically designed to provide precision entry system support for SpaceWorks' line of small, re-entry device (RED) capsules for on-demand payload return. The stage will feature a newly developed green monopropellant that will address key challenges that are critical to the overall business case associated with system cost, reliability, safety, and launch system integration.
