A CAD rendition of the DeorbitSail satellite. The deployable sail will
increase the drag area of the satellite, rapidly deorbiting it to demise
in the atmosphere and removing it from the hazardous debris field in LEO.
DeorbitSail is currently awaiting launch from India in 2015.

The DeorbitSail project is a collaboration to build a 3U CubeSat sized
satellite with a deployable sail that will demonstrate rapid deorbiting.
