Navigation and Motion Control in Space Debris Removal

摘要

The article proposes a system for removing space debris from the geostationary orbit (GEO). The system is based on advanced space solutions and rational scheme of collecting space debris by reusable automatic long-use space vehicles. Creation of such a system will probably encourage a number of innovative space technologies such as reactive motion with high specific impulse, interorbital transfers and space cargo transportation, automatic control and complex operations performed by automated systems.
