Already in the heat of last summer, HPS in Munich was preparing for the\u00a0third mission<\/strong>\u00a0of the innovative space brake sail ADEO-N, which unfolds automatically at the end of the mission and drives \u201cits\u201d satellite into the atmosphere to burn up. This technology avoids the formation of new space debris already on the ground and finally makes space missions sustainable.<\/p>\n

The ION Satellite Carrier with ADEO-N3 with its sail area of 5sqm has been on board a Falcon 9 since the picture book start on January, 31, 2023 from spaceport Vandenberg, California, now on the way to the target orbit at 270 to 500 km altitude at 53 degrees inclination. Probably by the\u00a0end of 2023<\/strong>\u00a0ADEO-N3 will then, as on previous flights \u2013 including one with ION also on Falcon 9 \u2013\u00a0deploy the braking parachute<\/strong>\u00a0and remove its ION Satellite Carrier from orbit<\/strong>\u00a0without leaving any residue many times faster than usual. With the flight heritage accumulated by then, the mature ADEO system heralds a \u201cgreen\u201d space age. Because at least for European missions or missions from Europe, there will \u2013 in all probability \u2013\u00a0no longer be any more launches without deorbit tech<\/strong>\u00a0on board: The Green Deal of the EU will then also apply to \u201cclean-green missions\u201d in space.<\/p>\n

On the current flight, ADEO-N3 acts as another verification of maturity for HPS. D-Orbit and HPS already captured what will happen high above the earth during a nominal mission as historical testimony on video during the last flight:
