  1. 1. Ageing process analysis of solar panels in graveyard geostationaryorbit for reusability potential

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Robin Drevet; [2024]
    Keywords : space debris; Spacecraft Materials; satellite; Space Sustainability; Space Circularity; Space Manufacturing;

    Abstract : The constant growth of space debris and the associated risks force the space community to find solutions to mitigate them. Today the most advanced solutions to dispose of satellites and rocket stages after the end of mission consists of moving them either into a graveyard orbit or towards an atmospheric re-entry ending in the demise of both spacecraft and its materials.
