title = "End-of-life disposal mechanism system design and analyze for high altitude leo satellites",
abstract = "Highest number of operational satellites in LEO are concentrated in altitude range of 1300 to 1500 km and the current existing disposal mechanisms like drag augmentation methods and chemical propulsion systems for the end of life (EOL) scenario are not suitable enough regarding to required high amount of propellant and lack of sufficient air molecules for generating drag force, respectively. This paper will address a combined solution which can guarantee complete de-orbiting of the satellite at the end of the mission with higher efficiency than other individual de-orbiting systems and this de-orbiting subsystem can comply with current 25 years' limitation for after mission in-orbit time for any satellite. General system design and orbital numerical simulations for different cases has been presented to prove the feasibility of practical usage of this system.",
