Demonstrate the feasibility of deorbiting spacecraft by EDTs. The operation and observation of CubeSat EDT deorbit process will take place over its entire orbital lifetime, which is expected to be roughly 2 months. The deployed system will consist of two 1U-CubeSats (mother and daughter satellite) connected by a 100m long bare tape electrodynamic tether .
