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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Space Development,$x2191-8171 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aLaw of the sea 606 $aInternational law 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aLaw of the sea. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 14$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space. 676 $a363.7280919 700 $aPelton$b Joseph N$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0720698 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300407103321 996 $aNew Solutions for the Space Debris Problem$91771638 997 $aUNINA
