Abstract

The use of thermites in space missions is more and more considered for different scopes. Assisting satellite demise represents an innovative potential field of application. Recent projects have demonstrated that the concept can work in specific case studies. THREAD is a new international collaboration financed by the European Union through the European Innovation Council Pathfinder program. The work will investigate the Thermite-for-demise (T4D) technology and will assess whether this approach can be feasible and can lead to benefits, both from the technical and from the industrial perspective. Regulatory and ethical aspects will be also covered within the 42 months of activity.
