Feb 1, 2019 · Abstract. This article gives an overview of the active space debris removal methods that are currently in development. Orbital debris removal has become a very critical part of the commercial and scientific space management. It is an aggregating risk which needs to be immediately addressed to prevent loss of spacecraft to debris collision.

Apr 1, 2013 · The logic of CNES activities consider a stepped approach aiming at progressively gaining the required Technological Readiness Level on the features required for Active Debris Removal which have not yet been demonstrated in orbit. The rendezvous with a non-cooperative, un-prepared, tumbling debris is essential.

The prevailing linear approach to debris removal in many countries is typified by ad-hoc and unplanned dumping, especially in the early phases of the event. This rushed response simply transfers the debris problem from one place to another incurring significant costs and often placing debris in unsuitable and environmentally sensitive locations.
3 major mechanisms for returning the LEO population of intact objects to a sustainable level below the 2500 threshold of stability: (1) lifetime limitation; (2) launch rate reduction; and, (3) active debris removal. Lifetime limitation involves limiting the lifetime of objects launched into LEO.

The continued advancement of active debris removal (ADR) systems may alter how the space industry assesses and accepts levels of risk inherent to system development and operations. Currently, the industry focus relies on debris mitigation techniques and procedures. However, in recent history, an increase in space actors, government and ...
Oct 15, 2023 · The e.Deorbit program (European Space Agency’s active space debris removal mission developed as a part of their Clean Space initiative) that started in 2012 focused on developing robotic arms and nets to capture space debris (Werner, 2021). Two net canisters were put into the design (one redundant) along with a robotic arm and the de-orbit burns were executed by a bi-propellant system.
