  • Satellite Control
    Publication number: 20090299553
    Abstract: A satellite has a depletion detector arranged in a propellant line such that, when depletion is detected, the amount of propellant remaining in the propellant lines is sufficient to dispose of the satellite, and may include a margin sufficient for 6-12 months of stationkeeping. This provides a simple and reliable method of determining when decommissioning is required.
