Reducing pollution of orbital space


  • Collecting orbital space debris
  • Retrieving defunct satellites from outer space
  • Reducing damage potential of orbital junk
  • Reducing growth of space debris

Context

The accumulation of space debris creates significant problems for astronomy and future space launchings. Of special concern is the possibility of collision of nuclear-powered space vehicles with such debris. Various debris mitigation measures are under consideration. The possibility of graveyard orbits for obsolete space vehicles is also under consideration.
