Werner discusses the reduction of the four drag sail segments that sprang from the Canx-7 satellite spacecraft altitude by 5 kilometers that was presented by Bradly Cotten, the CanX-7 project manager at the University of Toronto's Space Flight Laboratory at the annual Utah State University Small Satellite Conference. He emphasizes that the four drag sail segments attached to the CanX-7 satellite, has shown development and may provide a new way to remove satellites from orbit.
