 De-orbit Drag Device (D3) Successfully Placed in Orbit by NanoRacksEvery D3 = Less Debris Over Earth. The D3 will enable satellite operators to conform to the new FCC five year space debris rule.
D3 Gold "The D3 can be mounted to a satellite before launch, allowing satellite operators to safely maneuver and de-orbit their spacecraft at the end of the mission lifecycle. This is a cost effective de-orbiting solution that will enable SmallSats to conform to the new FCC five year rule for removing dead satellites," The D3 CubeSat spacecraft is currently in Low Earth Orbit and is beaconing a signal at 437.08 MHz for those who want to track the D3 satellite. Updates are welcome and you can send tracking data to admin@orboticsystems.com with the time and location. The Orbotic Systems team is awaiting a NORAD catalog number assignment. When that occurs, we will have further information on the spacecraft's current orbit. The "D3" was selected by the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative and this deployment was part of the ELaNa-45 mission. "After nearly two years of concerted effort, we are ready to release our first product to mitigate space debris. Unrivaled and unique, our D3 technology will allow satellite operators to inexpensively maneuver, orientate, and de-orbit their spacecraft without any explosive propellant. The D3 does 80% of what rockets do at 10% of the cost."
