Oct 15, 2023 · This paper first presents a comparative study of various space debris removal technologies to address the knowledge gap and quantify the challenges. This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art space technologies relevant to Active Debris Removal (ADR) missions.
Aug 8, 2024 · Two primary rendezvous methods are utilized: the linear approach, moving directly towards the target for docking scenarios like the ISS; and the spiral approach, orbiting the target in a decreasing spiral for accurate line-of-sight and reduced collision risks, particularly preferred for debris capture.
For the purposes of this paper, active debris removal is defined as the removal of obsolete spacecraft (satellites and rockets) or fragments of spacecraft that have broken off satellites and rockets, through an external disposal method.
Jan 1, 2014 · There are several techniques that might use ion beam projection systems. One of these approaches would utilize a precisely focused hypervelocity ion beam. This beam would be directed against a piece of space debris. This beam would then “shepherd” the space debris to a controlled deorbit.
Active Debris Removal (ADR) is necessary to stabilise the growth of space debris, but even more important is that any newly launched objects comply with post-mission disposal guidelines – especially orbital decay in less than 25 years.
