A proposed method for containing the growth of space debris, which jeopardizes operation
of spacecraft, is the active debris removal of massive derelict spacecraft and launcher upper …

Tether-nets are one of the more promising methods for the active removal of space debris.
The aim of this paper is to study the dynamics of this type of systems in space, which is still …

The capture quality index (CQI) was previously proposed to evaluate the status of space
debris captured by a tether-net. However, applying CQI to capture simulations of debris of …

One of the most promising techniques to capture large debris on orbit consists in the use of
tether-nets. With this concept currently at a medium technological readiness level only …

The PATENDER activity (Net parametric characterization and parabolic flight), funded by the
European Space Agency (ESA) via its Clean Space initiative, was aiming to validate a …

T= kinetic energy of the system, J ϑ= true anomaly angle, rad μ= gravitational parameter of
the Earth φ1= angle between the tether and space tug, rad φ2= angle between the tether …

THE servicer system consists of a robotic manipulator attached to a satellite base and has
been proposed by the robotics community to address the problem of on-orbit servicing …

The first step of any active debris removal (ADR) mission is the selection of the target. The
optimal choice is to find the most dangerous debris that can be removed considering the …

The proliferation of debris in Low Earth Orbit raises increasing challenges about the
sustainability of the space environment. The current international recommendations to …
