New Solutions for the Space Debris Problem

Focusing on the critical issue of space debris, the book examines emerging technologies designed to actively remove defunct objects from orbit. It evaluates the implications of these technologies within the framework of international space law and public international law. The author discusses guidelines for reducing new debris, mandates for satellite de-orbiting, and innovative strategies for removing large debris. With the commercial space industry booming, the increasing threat of orbital debris, including the risk of Kessler Syndrome, underscores the urgent need for effective remediation and satellite servicing solutions.
