"The idea here is that, this small mirror-like device will capture an image of the planet, which we will somehow be able to see when we retrieve the satellite after it has fallen out of orbit", said GOSA scientist Bill Knavers.
The GOSA orbital satellite team is still working on a way to effectively locate the satellite after it has left orbit, as well as work out the exact logistics of viewing the image in the mirror-like device.
