The European Space Agency's upcoming DRACO mission aims to study satellite destruction during reentry, contributing to efforts that may reduce future space debris.
DRACO will collect data during its descent to the ocean, equipped with a specialized capsule that transmits information about the destructive reentry process.
ESA's Zero Debris initiative targets a reduction in space debris by 2030, highlighting the importance of understanding satellite failures during reentry.
The mission will employ 200 sensors and four cameras to gather crucial information, despite the challenge of operating in a tumbling motion.
