The DragRacer experiment tested Tethers Unlimited's Terminator Tape, a 70-metre electrodynamic tether designed to accelerate satellite de-orbit through passive drag. Two nanosatellites were deployed: Alchemy, equipped with the tape, re-entered the atmosphere on 19 July 2021 - roughly eight months after launch. Augury, the untethered control satellite, was not expected to re-enter until 2028 at the earliest.
