Abstract The world of small satellites has now evolved into two different categories or types. One type is that of small satellites that are deployed in quite low Earth orbit so that they naturally decay and return to Earth and thus automatically meet the InterAgency space Debris Committee (IADC) Space Debris Mitigation guidelines that urge removal from orbit within 25 years from their end-of-mission life. These types of small satellites, typically nanosats or picosats, are usually only a few kilograms in mass and are also usually experimental projects.
