Improving Low Earth Orbit Security With Enhanced Electric Propulsion (LEOSWEEP)

Start date: Oct 21, 2013, End date: Nov 1, 2016,

The total mass of space debris in the low Earth orbit region is estimated to be close to 2,500 tons. About half of this mass is composed by rocket upper stages clustered in high inclination orbital regions. Because they are grouped in a relatively small number of families, acquiring the capability to deorbit just a few upper stage types would lead the way towards the elimination of hundreds of ton ...
