iss050e031340 (1/16/2017) --- Photo documentation of the Japanese-Small Satellite Orbital Deployer-6 (J-SSOD-6) deployment of the ECG Cubesat. The EGG Satellite (re-Entry satellite with Gossamer aeroshell and GPS/Iridium) developed at the University of Tokyo, demonstrates a deployable aeroshell to first act as a drag device and then protect the satellite during the initial stages of re-entry.
