Proposal for Creating a Device for Deorbiting Low-Earth-Orbit CubeSats

The article discusses proposals for creating a standard unit based on CubeSat technology, an independent autonomous aerobraking device based on inflatable balloons or a solar sail cone section. The proposed devices have a simple start-up system and are an additional component in the CubeSat assembly for deorbiting from low-Earth orbits.

Relativistic Gravitational Experiment in the Earth Orbit: Concept,Technology, and Configuration of Satellite Constellation

An arrangement of the orbital experiment on the measurement of the light propagation delay in the gravitational field of the Earth (Shapiro effect) using laser interferometry based on a cluster of small spacecraft (SC) is proposed. SC layouts, launch technology, and high-precision measurements of their orbital parameters are considered.
