Abstract:
Accurate orbit lifetime assessment is necessary to support satellite mission design, concepts-of-operation, and post-mission debris mitigation strategies. Because of their standardized form factors, the 47 CubeSats placed in orbit since 2003 provide a unique opportunity to study the accuracy of such orbit lifetime techniques in a controlled manner. In this study we examine CubeSat assessments for both IADC and ISO standards compliance and actual orbital decay estimation compared to empirical Space Surveillance Network observations.
