In an example embodiment, an attitude, orbit, and de-orbit control system (AODCS) for a satellite is provided. In an example embodiment, the AODCS system comprises one or more selectively retractable booms. The one or more selectively retractable booms are collectively configured to provide a selectively adjustable drag during de-orbiting of a satellite over a predefined de-orbiting time.
