The efforts of the Inter Agency Space Debris Coordinating Committee (IADC) and UN COPUS have now led to international guidelines to mitigate the creation of new debris. This book discusses the technical studies being developed for active removal processes and otherwise mitigating problems of space debris, particularly in low earth orbit. This book also considers threats to space systems and the Earth that comes from natural causes such as asteroids, coronal mass ejections, and radiation. After more than half a century of space applications and explorations, the time has come to consider ways to provide sustainability for long-term space activities. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in space development. 606 $aSpace debris 606 $aSpace environment 615 0$aSpace debris. 615 0$aSpace environment. 676 $a001.9 676 $a629.416 700 $aPelton$b Joseph N$0720698 712 02$aInternational Space University. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438117303321 996 $aSpace Debris and Other Threats from Outer Space$92169061 997 $aUNINA
