A passive de-orbiting strategy for high altitude CubeSat missions using a deployable reflective balloon [PDF]
A de-orbiting strategy for small satellites, in particular CubeSats, is proposed which exploits the effect of solar radiation pressure to increase the spacecraft orbit eccentricity so that the perigee falls below an altitude where atmospheric drag will ...
