Orbital Debris Mitigation Techniques: Technical, Legal, and Economic Aspects

Abstract

This special report is the result of a two year effort by a large working group that conducted surveys of the industry and its customers, as well as financial supporters, to assess the current technical, legal, and economic aspects of orbital debris mitigation. Specific attention is given to currently available technology and regulatory options, which are not used in either the US or other spacefaring nations.
