De-Orbiting of Satellites using Solar Sails (DEORBIT SAIL)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
The goal of this project is to develop and flight test a novel, low cost/riskdeorbiting device based on a 25-m squared Solar Sail with a total mass (including the satellite platform) of 3 kg. The approach will be to modify Solar Sail deployment technology for use as a satellite and/or rocket upper stage deorbiting system. The effectiveness of such deorbiting device is predicted to be high at altit ...

All-inorganic nano-rod based thin-film solarcells on glass (ROD-SOL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"Thin film solar cells, based on non-toxic, abundant and air-stable silicon (Si) will probably, based on forecasts, dominate the photovoltaic market in the future and thus replace bulk Si from its leading position. This prognosis is fostered by the strong cost reduction potential due to highly effective materials utilization at low energy consumption. However, thin film Si suffers from inherently ...
