Brown University

Brown University is a university in Providence, Rhode Island, with hands-on student spacecraft engineering and space-debris research. Brown Space Engineering developed EQUiSat, which operated in orbit for more than two years before reentry in December 2020. A multidisciplinary student team built SBUDNIC using low-cost commercial components and a drag sail; its reentry in August 2023 demonstrated a way to shorten a small satellite's orbital lifetime.
