This project focuses on developing a new method for safely decommissioning satellites using thermite-based heat generation systems. By creating reliable heat-producing materials, the project aims to enhance satellite demise during reentry, addressing practical challenges in space technology.
This project develops a new method to manage the decommissioning of satellites through the use of on-board heat generation systems based on non-explosive thermite charges, called thermite-for-demise (T4D).
Thermites are mixtures of metal and metal oxide which can undergo spontaneous exothermic reactions even in vacuum, according to composition and production.
Pioneering projects have demonstrated that T4D may be used to damage space components and support their demise during atmospheric reentry…
