Space Debris Cleaning and Prevention
Whats the problem?
Space is full of junk
Poses risk to current satellites in operation
Potential for Kessler Syndrome
Collisions can cause loss of satellite affecting daily life
risk for manned missions
nothing is being done to fix
increasingly more difficult to orbit plan with increase debris
No one owns space so how do you regulate
Causations
Dead satellites
Satellites end of life satellites
Satellite launch vehicles
old separation devices (pryo)
meteors
old collisions
intentional destroying of satellite for test
Solutions
Implementing stricter regulations
Fine companies for disobeying
Incentives companies to follow regulations
Build tech to clean current debris
create better tracking methods
Counter Arguments
Taking down dead satellites is removing historical value of object
Constellations of satellites pose risk of adding to debris
Clusters are the problem, not constellations
Space is so vast does it matter
we should be spending resources on other parts or humanity
