Nanosatellite aerobrake maneuvering device

In this paper, we present the project of the heliogyro solar sail unit for deployment of CubeSat constellation and satellite deorbiting. The ballistic calculations show that constellation deployment period can vary from 0.18 years for 450km initial orbit and 2 CubeSats up to 1.4 years for 650km initial orbit and 8 CubeSats. We also describe the structural and electrical design of the unit and consider aspects of its integration into a standard CubeSat frame.
