Scheme of near guidance, docking and then tightening to the space debris (Credits: V.I. It maybe be called destiny that Trushlyakov, who worked for 23 years at the designing facility of Cosmos 3M, is now in the forefront of efforts to remove the same rocket he helped to put in orbit. , his team has pointed to the 2 nd stage of Cosmos 3M as target of a future autonomous space debris removal mission. Therefore, considering also other factors like inclination, altitude etc. He explained that to invert the increasing trend and decrease the risk of a cascade effect, at least 10 tons of debris per year should be removed. Valery Trushlyakov, professor of Omsk State Technical University, after addressing the mitigation issue with the ADOS system, also considered a strategy to approach the remediation problem. These debris have potential to collide with each other or with active satellites, causing a cascade effect known as Kessler’s syndrome that will eventually make the situation unbearable. The Volga (Fregat) upper stage with engine RD-0162 (Credits: TsSKB).Īpproaching the space debris problem by mitigating future debris creation might not resolve the issue because of the large number of objects already orbiting at altitudes where natural de-orbiting due to atmospheric drag or other factors simply doesn’t happen or takes a very long time.
