CubeSats and nanosatellites allow increased access to space for smaller organizations and educational institutions, have lifetimes of up to 25 years in high orbits, but usually have no de-orbit capability. Preventative and removal technologies are essential for addressing this growing problem of inactive satellites remaining in orbit after their mission is completed. Preliminary design of the Next Era Individualized Geo-conscious High Body Orbit Remediator (NEIGHBOR) is assessed for its feasibility in curbing the risk that small satellites pose to the increasingly problematic space debris environment.
