dc.description.abstract | The scope of this research is the design and development of a self-stabilizing re-entry vehicle that closely resembles naturally occurring seeds in nature. It was hypothesized that a femto-satellite with a shape of a samara could self stabilize and passively generate lift, as well as transmit a signal during its descent through the atmosphere. The research included a conceptual design phase and a preliminary design phase that entailed analytic simulations, and an experimental demonstration. The goal was to investigate the feasibility of developing the above-mentioned femto-vehicle that could increase the range capability of its descent to maximize data capture. | en_US |
