Abstract:

Over 120 cases of on-orbit breakups have now been recorded. Many more undetected events are believed to have occurred. Each time an object breaks up, whether by explosion or collision, a cloud of debris is formed. The overall objective of the PhD is to examine the interaction between the debris clouds produced by on-orbit fragmentation events and specific space systems. A breakup event will give rise to concentrations of debris which, for some time after the event, will have spatial densities considerably higher than the background flux. Thus, a detailed knowledge of the extent to which the cl

This thesis examines the current technological and legal issues concerning orbital debris (space debris). The unique physical characteristics of the space environment are identified and explained. The thesis then explores the causes of orbital debris and examines the risk posed by debris to the most frequently used orbital areas. Significant environmental, legal, political, and economic consequences of orbital debris are described. The current technical and legal controls on the creation of debris are discussed and evaluated. Finally, proposed solutions are considered and critiqued. The thesis

Abstract:

Space debris is a rising problem in today's world. Because there is so much in space that is unknown, it is critical to eventually catalog every piece. Since there are many attributes and properties attached to space objects, it is preferable to use an ontological classification method. The information presented in the ontology can then be used to answer questions about space debris. A Bayesian network would accomplish that because of its quantitative nature. The similarities between ontologies and Bayesian networks, such as their architectures and their flexibility, make it possible to integr

We conclude that the removal processseems possible although some improvements are needed.

Abstract:

The increasing population of space debris in the near-Earth region poses a serious threat to operational satellites in-orbit. This situation has led to the development of numerous guidelines in order to mitigate the potential danger of in-orbit collisions, fragmentations and uncontrolled re-entries. Among the various recommendations, active debris removal is considered as a possible solution to help decrease the chance of the aforementioned risks. However, active debris removal has never been done in space and it still requires further development of various technologies and orbit testing befo

Every space launch increases the overall amount of space debris. Satellites have limited awareness of nearby objects that might pose a collision hazard. Astrometric, radiometric, and thermal models for the study of space debris in low-Earth orbit have been developed. This modeled approach proposes analysis methods that provide increased Local Area Awareness for satellites in low-Earth and geostationary orbit. Local Area Awareness is defined as the ability to detect, characterize, and extract useful information regarding resident space objects as they move through the space environment surround

Derelict satellites, rocket bodies, and pieces thereof have been left on orbit. These space debris have been increasing in numbers and simulations of their future evolution have shown that this increase might continue due to collisions between objects. It has been suggested that active debris removal (ADR), i.e. removing objects from orbit by technological means rather than by their natural decay due to drag, might be necessary in order to prevent an excessive increase of the number of debris. Selection of objects to be targeted by ADR is considered important because removal of non-relevant ob

The Earth is surrounded by inoperative objects generated from past and current space missions. Because of the high orbital speed, even the impact with small fragments is a hazard to operational spacecraft as it could lead to the partial or complete loss of the mission. Therefore, it is important to assess the collision risk due to space debris considering small fragments, which are usually not included in space debris modelling because their large number would make simulations extremely complex.

These information can be acquired by means of radar or optical measurements depending on the observing scenario.

As a result of the last 60 years of satellite launches, a significant amount of space debris has been generated in Earth orbit. Growing consensus amongst experts over the last decade, has suggested that removing existing debris, alongside mitigation efforts, can assist in controlling the size of the low Earth orbit (LEO) population. However, no objective or long-term strategy exist to ensure the most effective use of active debris removal (ADR).

Abstract:

Due to the unsustainable space debris environment in Low Earth Orbit, debris objects must be removed to ensure future safe satellite operations. One proposed concept for deorbiting larger space debris objects, such as decommissioned satellites or spent upper rocket stages, is to use a chaser spacecraft connected to the debris object by an elastic tether, but the required technology is immature and there is a lack of flight experience. The inoperable satellite, Envisat, has been chosen as a representative object for controlled re-entry by performing several high thrust burns. The aim of this pa

Abstract:

The rapidly increasing amounts of space debris orbiting Earth is threatening to reach a critical level, where the near-Earth environment becomes so overfilled with junk that many missions simply become unfeasible. Long-term active debris removal operations appear to be a necessity, but due to the scale of the problem this will likely be an expensive affair spanning decades or even centuries. Many of the mission-related costs can be significantly reduced by making use of a smaller spacecraft, such as the rapidly developing CubeSat standard.

Human space activity in the past 50 years has led to a plethora of man-made space debris which pose an imminent threat to global space operations. The current models of space debris orbits are not sufficient for detailed orbit prediction or for accurate tracking. This uncertainty manifests itself in Conjunction Analysis (CA) with active spacecraft, which leads to excessive orbital manoeuvres which are both expensive and reduce the lifetime of satellites. Advances in orbit modelling will lead to better prediction of debris orbits and reduce the need for collision avoidance manoeuvres, as well a

This thesis assesses the current legal regime of State Responsibility in the exploration and use of outer space as it concerns space debris prevention.

It is contended that this concern must be addressed through regulation in order to be meaningful. In support, it interrogates the current status quo of state responsibility for the space activities of non-state entities and how this differs from state responsibi
