The Space Program's video: RemoveDEBRIS satellite deployed from International Space Station

@RemoveDEBRIS satellite deployed from International Space Station

RemoveDEBRIS is aimed at performing key Active Debris Removal (ADR) technology demonstrations (e.g capture, deorbiting) representative of an operational scenario during a low-cost mission using novel key technologies for ADR. The satellite's platform was manufactured by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) and is a variant of the SSTL X50 series. The mission will comprise of a main satellite platform (~100kg) that once in orbit will deploy two CubeSats as artificial debris targets to demonstrate some of the technologies (net capture, harpoon capture, vision-based navigation, dragsail de-orbitation). RemoveDEBRIS was launched aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on 2 April 2018 as part of the CRS-14 mission, arriving at the ISS on 4 April. Deployment of the satellite from the station's Kibo module via robotic Canadarm-2 took place on 20 June 2018. At approximately 100 kg, RemoveDEBRIS is the largest satellite to have ever been deployed from the ISS. The full lifespan of the mission from launch to re-entry is estimated at 1.5 years.
