Exo-Brake being packed for satellite deployment
Exo-Brake being packed for satellite deployment. The Exo-Brake is a tension-based, flexible braking device, similar to a cross-parachute, here being packed into a small satellite (TechEdSat-5) that was deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) on 6 March 2017. The Exo-Brake increases the drag, initiating the gradual deorbiting of the satellite. Exo-Brake is made of mylar and is controlled by a hybrid system of mechanic struts and flexible cords. This device has been developed by engineers at NASA's Ames Research Center, and is also known as Small Payload Quick Return (SPQR). TechEdSat-5 re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on 29 July 2017, after 144 days in orbit.
