What Does PDP Stand For?
PDP stands for Postinsertion Deorbit Preparation
PDP, or Postinsertion Deorbit Preparation, refers to the comprehensive series of procedures and assessments conducted after the successful insertion of a satellite or spacecraft into its designated orbit. This process is critical for ensuring that the vehicle is properly configured for its operational phase, as well as for planning an eventual deorbit in a controlled manner. PDP includes system checks, performance evaluations, and the implementation of strategies to safely transition the vehicle from operational orbit to deorbit, thereby mitigating space debris and adhering to space sustainability practices.
