Flyby of large-size space debris objects and their transition to the disposal orbits in LEO
AA Baranov, DA Grishko, YN Razoumny… - Advances in Space …, 2017 - Elsevier
The article focuses on the flyby issue involving large-size space debris (LSSD) objects in
low Earth orbits. The data on overall sizes of the known upper-stages and last stages of
launch-vehicles make it possible to emphasize five compact groups of such objects from the
Satellite catalogue in 600–2000 km altitude interval. The flyby maneuvers are executed by a
single space vehicle (SV) that transfers the current captured LSSD object to the specially
selected circular or elliptical disposal orbit (DO) and after a period of time returns to capture …
