2. D-ORBIT IN BRIEF
MISSION:
A CLEAN AND SAFE ACCESS TO SPACE
D-Orbit is focused on stopping the systematic
increase of concentration of uncontrolled objects in
space, promoting a sustainable access to Space and
adding a fourth dimension to the common notion of
sustainability: Earth, Air, Sea and Space.
We are a satellite systems company that designs and
develops devices to maximize spacecraft life and
value, providing efficient decommissioning of both
satellites and launcher bodies
4. D-ORBIT DECOMMISSONING DEVICE (D3)
SAFE
Complaint with the major safety standard and
requirement NASA, ESA and MIL-STD;
FLEXIBLE
Compact design, easier to be integrated in
satellite system and customizable to
customer’s need;
AUTONOMOUS:
Power and telemetry-independent from the
host satellite during the decommissioning
maneuver;
RELIABLE
All the most sensible subsystems have already
reached space qualification.
5. D-SAT MISSION: D3 IN ORBIT DEMONSTRATION
D-SAT WILL BE THE FIRST SATELLITE TO BE REMOVED IN A
QUICK, SAFE AND CONTROLLED WAY

Time
Disposal Area
D-SAT is designed for a
500 km altitude, but the
Decommissioning
System’s Solid
Propellant Motor allows
for decommissioning up
to 650 km, covering
most of the orbits used
by nanosatellites
D-SAT will orbit Earth
for up to two months,
performing
experiments, radio
outreach and
technology test, in
preparation for
decommissioning
The complete
decommissioning
maneuver phase is
performed in less than
half-hour versus the
months required for a
natural decay
Thanks to the total
control over the orbit
maneuver, the debris
disposal area can be
accurately selected,
a feature beyond the
capacity of any
passive system
8. DESIGNING FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS
• Survive the launch
• Space Vacuum
• Thermal Problem
• Space Radiation
• No Maintainability
• Absence of gravity
