Addressing a pressing issue in space policy, Pelton explores the
new forms of technology that are being developed to actively remove
the defunct space objects from orbit and analyzes their
implications in the existing regime of international space law and
public international law. This authoritative review covers the due
diligence guidelines that nations are using to minimize the
generation of new debris, mandates to de-orbit satellites at end of
life, and innovative endeavours to remove non-functional
satellites, upper stage rockets and other large debris from orbit
under new institutional, financial and regulatory guidelines.
Commercial space services currently exceed 100 billion USD business
per annum, but the alarming proliferation in the population of
orbital debris in low, medium and geosynchronous satellite orbits
poses a serious threat to all kinds of space assets and
applications. There is a graver concern that the existing space
debris will begin to collide in a cascading manner, generating
further debris, which is known as the Kessler Syndrome. Scientific
analysis has indicated an urgent need to perform space debris
remediation through active removal of debris and on-orbit satellite
servicing.
