Pelton1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (102 p.)SpringerBriefs in Space Development,2191-8171Description based upon print version of record.3-319-17150-X Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- Current Initiatives and Their Status -- Definition of Space Debris for Active Remediation -- Commercial Feasibility of Space Debris Remediation -- Technological Advancement Enabling Active Remediation -- Legal Challenges Surrounding Active Debris Remediation -- Proposed Way Ahead -- Conclusion.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.SpringerBriefs in Space Development,2191-8171Aerospace engineeringAstronauticsSpace sciencesLaw of the seaInternational lawAerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Spacehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Space sciences.Law of the sea.International law.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Space.363.7280919Pelton Joseph Nauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut720698MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300407103321New Solutions for the Space Debris Problem1771638UNINA
