The large number of defunct satellites and debris in orbit around the Earth, as well as the always increasing strategic importance of space assets, require satellites to have the capability to perform orbital removal maneuver in a quick, reliable and efficient way, without compromising safety both in space and on ground. D-Orbit technological approach to this need, based on a smart, solid-fueled, propulsive device, is presented in this paper.

Abstract
The large number of defunct satellites and debris in orbit around the Earth, as well as the always increasing strategic importance of space assets, require satellites to have the capability to perform orbital removal maneuver in a quick, reliable and efficient way, without compromising safety both in space and on ground. D-Orbit technological approach to this need, based on a smart, solid-fueled, propulsive device, is presented in this paper. This technology will be demonstrated in space at the end of 2016 through the D-SAT nano-satellite: the major features of this demonstration mission will be also presented in this paper.
