Aschau, 23 June 2017<\/strong> \u2013 In addition to its recent contributions to SABRE and to new
\ndevelopments in the field of Sounding Rockets, BAYERN-CHEMIE\u2019s presentations at the
\nEUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS, July 3
\n– 6 in Milan, Italy) will have the company\u2019s new involvement in de-orbiting of satellites as a major
\nfocus.<\/p>\n

BAYERN-CHEMIE delivers solid propellant rocket motors for small satellites to D-Orbit, a
\ncompany based in Milan, Italy, hereby broadening its fields of activities from defense into the
\nrealm of space. By equipping satellites with an independent decommissioning system that takes
\ncare of their re-entry at the end of a mission in a direct and controlled way, BAYERN-CHEMIE in
\nconjunction with D-Orbit is actively contributing to keeping the Earth\u2019s orbit clean from space
\ndebris and thus helping to ensure a safe and sustainable space in the future.<\/p>\n

D-Orbit\u2019s demonstrator project D-Sat is a three-unit CubeSat designed, built, and operated by
\nD-Orbit. It will be launched mid of 2017 into a 500 km sun-synchronous orbit and perform the
\ndecommissioning maneuver at the end of its mission. D-Sat is the first satellite with the
\ncapability to perform a direct and controlled re-entry through a dedicated device. BAYERN-
\nCHEMIE has developed and produced solid-propellant rocket motors for the D-Sat with
\nrecognised benefits such as simple and robust design, low-cost production, modular expansion
\ncapability, simple and safe handling characteristics and insensitivity to the radiation in space.
\nThanks to that propulsion system onboard, D-Sat will perform a precise decommissioning
\nmaneuver that will cause the satellite to re-enter Earth\u2019s orbit in just 30 minutes from the
\nmoment of ignition, even if the main systems become unresponsive.<\/p>\n

Axel Ringeisen, Head of Marketing & Sales of BAYERN-CHEMIE, says: \u201eThe steady increase of
\nspace junk in essential orbits is already a significant problem for satellites, the International
\nSpace Station (ISS) and ultimately for the earth\u2019s population. The risk of collisions is steadily
\nrising. Satellite operators will face enormous challenges. Moreover it will become necessary to
\nequip future satellites with an independent system that will assure the controlled reentry of the
\nsatellite at the end of its service life. BAYERN-CHEMIE, through its expertise in the
\ndevelopment and production of state-of-the art solid propellant rocket motors, can help to
\nminimize the problem by offering customer tailored propulsion systems allowing new solutions
\nfor the de-orbiting challenges ahead. We at BAYERN-CHEMIE are happy to prove the potential
\nof our rocket motors in the current cooperation with D-Orbit.\u201c<\/p>\n
