Debris removal satellite, debris removal method, debris removal control device, debris removal control method, and ground equipment

摘要

The debris removal satellite (300) includes a capture device (135), a chemical propulsion type thruster (341), and a propellant tank (342) for storing chemical fuel. The solar array paddle (371) can be operated in orbital altitudes higher than the congested orbital region congested by multiple satellites forming a satellite constellation. The debris removal satellite (300) is prepared in advance as a launch satellite, and when a debris intrusion warning is issued to warn of the invasion of debris into the congested orbital region, the propellant tank is filled with propellant and is used for launch in advance. It will be launched by a rocket created as a rocket. The debris removal satellite (300) captures the debris to be captured at an orbital altitude higher than the congested orbit region, operates the propulsion device (134) with the debris to be captured captured, and invades the congested orbit region of the debris to be captured. To prevent.
