Abstract
Abstract: The commercialization of space has resulted in a significant increase in the frequency of spacecraft, which is adding to the already large number of objects in orbit. Therefore, future and present missions are at risk from space debris. Most of these spacecraft in orbit have very limited means of mitigation control systems. As a result, certain international regulations are imposed to obtain a license for a spacecraft for launch purposes. The necessity of a feasible debris mitigation technique enables future space missions to be safe and sustainable. This review sheds light on the drag augmentation devices such as dragsail, which can provide an effective means for accelerating the deorbiting process during the EOL phase, making space safe and sustainable without the risk of space debris. Keywords: Dragsail, Ballistic coefficient, Deorbit duration, Space debris, Low Earth Orbit
