Periodic Reporting for period 3 - E.T.PACK (Electrodynamic Tether Technology for Passive Consumable-less Deorbit Kit)

Current in-space propulsion technologies, such as chemical and electrical thrusters, work under the physical law of action-reaction. Consequently, the payload mass and mission lifetime are penalized by the need of propellant. E.T.PACK envisages a new era enabled by a...
