Orbit Design and Lifetime Analysis of MYSat: A 1U CubeSat for Electron-density Measurement

The paper describes the orbit design and lifetime analysis of MYSat, a university-built nanosatellite for measuring electron-density in the Ionosphere E-layer. Low earth orbit is selected for MYSat orbit due to the deployment method using Japanese Experiment Module Small Satellite Orbital Deplo...
