This paper describes a process for identifying the intact objects in orbit that (a) pose the
greatest debris-generating potential risk to operational satellites or (b) would reduce the risk …

Trends in space technology development and rapidly increasing traffic in outer space are
likely to lead to the emergence of a market for services for the removal of large debris …

The paper considers a new layout of a two-stage spacecraft designed to remove a group of
large space debris objects such as the upper stages of 'Zenit'launch vehicles from low-earth …

Важное место в процессе полета большинства космических аппаратов (КА) занимают
его манёвры–целенаправленное изменение параметров орбиты КА с помощью …

Abstract Analysis of the efficiency of two basic strategies for de/re-orbiting large space debris
objects to disposal orbits (DO) is given. Large objects in LEO are classified into groups with …

The article considers the mission design problem for removal of large space debris objects
from near-Earth orbits. It is assumed that a single active spacecraft-collector (SC) should …

The paper compares two variants of re-orbiting space debris objects from the
geosynchronous (GEO) region. Under the first re-orbiting variant, a spacecraft-collector …

The paper studies the effectiveness of joint application of active and passive space debris
removal technologies in low-Earth orbits. An active spacecraft-collector (SC), equipped with …

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 …

An automatic spacecraft (SC) is probably the only type of an involved engineering device
that is currently devoid of a full system for technical maintenance and repair. When changing …
