E-Space ? [E-Space]
E-Spaces demonstration launch consisted of three demonstration satellites to validate the systems and technology for its sustainable satellite system consisting of up to 100,000 small satellites.
The satellites have small cross-sections, to decrease the risk of collision from the millions of untrackable space objects and will automatically de-orbit if any systems malfunction. Eventually, the satellites were claimed to sacrificially capture and deorbit small debris to burn up on re-entry, setting a new standard in space environmental management.
The three satellites were never identified in orbit nor registered and it is unknown, if these ever worked after deployment.
Note: The names of the satellites are not known yet.
