Orbit Control Manoeuvre Strategy for Post-Mission De-Orbiting of a Low-Earth-Orbit Satellite

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate a practical strategy for de-orbiting the retired satellite in low-Earth orbit for the space debris mitigation. The only means available onboard the spacecraft for performing the task is the chemical propulsion system with limited propellant provided. It is proposed to reduce the orbital perigee to reach a certain level where the atmospheric drag can play its role in lowering the satellite altitude, and eventually bringing it to re-entry within a defined period of time.

“…Based on GISTDA's experiences that success to develop and implement in-house flight software dynamics known as "EMERALD" [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], the accuracy of orbital prediction consists of 2 main factors in order to high accuracy to define TCA and miss distance. Firstly, perturbation forces in ZIRCON are decided to consider gravitation potential, third body perturbations (the sun and moon), solar radiation pressure and atmospheric drag.…”

“…This module is processed when we receive a notification (Conjunction Data Message: CDM) by Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC). Finally, the de-orbit module [5] is capable of analyzing a strategy to re-entry to the Earth by performing the guidelines of Inter-Agency Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) [6] that post-mission orbit lifetime no longer than 25 years is in active regions. All analyzed results of all modules will be transferred to store in the database of the ground control system.…”
