Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a spinnable composition (sC) by mixing at least one terephthalate polyester (A), at least one aliphatic-aromatic polyester (B), at least one oligomer (C) and optionally at least one additive (D). Moreover, the present invention relates to the spinnable composition (sC) obtained by this process, a process for the preparation of polyester fibers (PF) by extruding the spinnable composition (sC) through at least one spinneret, the polyester fibers (PF) obtained by this process, textile materials (T) comprising the polyester fibers (PF) a process for dying the textile materials (T), and the use of the oligomer (C) for the improvement of the rheology and/or the dyeability of a composition comprising at least one terephthalate polyester (A) and at least one aliphatic aromatic polyester (B).

Abstract: The invention relates to small satellites capable to fly in formation (10), in particular nano- or picosatellites with a mass of 10 kg or less, for LEO applications, comprising a housing (12) and at least one plug-in board (14) arranged in the housing (12) with a predetermined functionality and a propulsion system (16) for generating a directed pulse in the direction of the flight trajectory Tk. It is proposed that the small satellite (10) comprises an independent and autonomously working collision avoidance system (18), which is capable of adapting a trajectory correction Tkk of the trajectory Tk by the propulsion system (16), when a collision with an object (30) is expected. In a further independent aspect, the invention relates to a formation (100) composed of several small satellites capable to fly in formation (10), wherein a relative position and flight trajectory Tk of each small satellite (10) is modifiable via the independently and autonomously working collision avoidance system (18).
