Reducing pollution of orbital space
Synonyms:
Collecting orbital space debrisRetrieving defunct satellites from outer space
Reducing damage potential of orbital junk
Reducing growth of space debris
Context:
The accumulation of space debris creates significant problems for astronomy and future space launchings. Of special concern is the possibility of collision of nuclear-powered space vehicles with such debris. Various debris mitigation measures are under consideration. The possibility of graveyard orbits for obsolete space vehicles is also under consideration. Facilitates:
