36 Conclusion 1. Orbital dynamics of flexible debris is different from that of rigid debris due to the effective area. 2. Direct solar radiation pressure is the most effect to the orbital dynamics of HAMR flexible model. 3. Self-shadowing effect lead to irregular attitude dynamics and deformation 36

37 Future work To set the deformation experiment to validate the flexible model Acknowledge This work was funded by Ministry of Science and Technology of the Thai government and the European Office of Aerospace Research and Development (project award FA ). 28 Oct 2014 S. Channumsin 37
