“…Once the RCS transfer is complete, then the OMS performs the orbit transfer. RCS subsystem consists of four forward thrusters (1,2,3,4) and four aft thrusters (5,6,7,8). In each forward and aft thruster, two horizontal and two vertical thrusters are fired.…”

“…Depending upon the altitude, the orbit also varies and, thus, results in different debris population affecting the wide range of factors. 4 Therefore, the importance and availability of good data proves beneficial for not only the mission aspects but also for space environment. 5,6 The collisions caused by debris of 1 cm or larger can cause damaging effects on the operating spacecraft and may further cause the explosion of decommissioned spacecraft, rocket, or any satellite body.…”

The objective of the study is to model a system which can effectively prevent the collision between space debris and spacecraft by robust design and algorithms of the system. The location and trajectory of the debris field at each and every instant are tracked with the help of image processing. The Voronoi diagram and Dijkstra’s algorithm are utilized to determine the alternate orbits for the spacecraft in order to avert the collision. The discrete subsystem, namely, orbit determination system, orbit maneuvering system, and reaction control system, is modeled and simulated using the Simulink platform. The collision avoidance system employs the most energy-efficient Hohmann maneuver to find the alternate orbits for spacecraft between circular orbits. The simulation results shown from the present work clearly evidences the effectiveness of collision avoidance. The present collision avoidance system always determines the safe and fuel economic trajectory for spacecraft independent of human interference.

“…St-Onge et al (2018) for example, proposed a large cupola for debris sweeping and investigated the hypervelocity impact between the cupola and debris. Jarry et al (2019) proposed using a sounding rocket to inject a cloud into a suborbital trajectory, dragging down passing space debris using the higher local density of the cloud.…”

Electromagnetic-launch-based method for cost-efficient space debris removal

The increase in space debris orbiting Earth is a critical problem for future space missions. Space debris removal has thus become an area of interest, and significant research progress is being made in this field. However, the exorbitant cost of space debris removal missions is a major concern for commercial space companies. We therefore propose the debris removal using electromagnetic launcher (DREL) system, a ground-based electromagnetic launch system (railgun), for space debris removal missions. The DREL system has three components: a ground-based electromagnetic launcher (GEML), suborbital vehicle (SOV), and mass of micrometer-scale dust (MSD) particles. The average cost of removing a piece of low-earth orbit space debris using DREL was found to be approximately USD 160,000. The DREL method is thus shown to be economical; the total cost to remove more than 2,000 pieces of debris in a cluster was only approximately USD 400 million, compared to the millions of dollars required to remove just one or two pieces of debris using a conventional space debris removal mission. By using DREL, the cost of entering space is negligible, thereby enabling countries to remove their space debris in an affordable manner.
