Abstract

InflateSail is a 3U CubeSat with 2U dedicated to an experimental drag deorbiting system. The deployable sail has an area of 10m2 and sits atop a 1m long inflatable rigidizable mast. InflateSail is scheduled for launch in 2016 as a technology demonstrator satellite of the QB50 mission. This paper describes the payload functional and qualification tests.
