One of the deliverables of the ReDSHIFT H2020 project will be a software tool available to the scientific community and the wider public. The ReDSHIFT software is thought as a tool for spacecraft operators, space agencies and research institutions to design the end-of-life of any Earth satellite mission and to study the interaction with the space debris environment. The tool will be able to calculate the disposal of the spacecraft, via impulsive manoeuvres and/or solar and drag sails, the spacecraft interaction with the debris environment and its re-entry. The tool has been developed with two different user interfaces: a desktop one based on the ESA openSF integration framework and a web one to reach a wider base of users. It is the aim of the ReDSHIFT tool to contribute in a proactive way to the mitigation of space debris problem via passive end-of-life mitigation.

Abstract
One of the deliverables of the ReDSHIFT H2020 project will be a software tool available to the scientific community and the wider public. The ReDSHIFT software is thought as a tool for spacecraft operators, space agencies and research institutions to design the end-of-life of any Earth satellite mission and to study the interaction with the space debris environment. The tool will be able to calculate the disposal of the spacecraft, via impulsive manoeuvres and/or solar and drag sails, the spacecraft interaction with the debris environment and its re-entry. The tool has been developed with two different user interfaces: a desktop one based on the ESA openSF integration framework and a web one to reach a wider base of users. It is the aim of the ReDSHIFT tool to contribute in a proactive way to the mitigation of space debris problem via passive end-of-life mitigation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
