AGENDA
SPACE DEBRIS
• space waste • the collection of defunct objects in orbit
around Earth
WHY MITIGATION
collisions among the catalogued objects
voluntary debris generation
break-ups in orbit
long lived debris in the protected zones
Loss of money
MINIMIZING DEBRIS CREATION
Minimize the release of mission-related objects
Avoid the occurrence of break-ups in space
Avoid collisions between sizable space objects
Actively remove intact space objects or debris
Mission Design • to avoid debris creation• limit the orbital lifetime of spacecraft
Satellite and Hardware Design• To prevent the on-orbit break-ups energy
storage should be made passive or quiescent at end of life because
a) Residual propellants b) Pressure vessels and other high pressure devices c) BatteriesAre stored energy sources which may explode!
Future Research
• zero debris creation within the protected zones
