Multiple Space Debris Collecting Mission: Optimal Mission Planning

Abstract: In order to keep a safe access to space in the coming years, it will be necessary to clean the LEO region from the most dangerous debris like spent satellites or launchers stages. An average removal rate of 5 debris per year is recommended to at least stabilize the current debris population. Successive missions must be planned over the years using similar vehicles in order to limit the development cost. This paper addresses the problem of the mission planning so that they can be achieved at minimal cost by a g… Show more

“…It can be noted that the debris visited of each rendezvous mission are somewhat assigned by their initial RAAN values, in decreasing order. This is not an absolute rule, because the optimal sequence also depends on RAAN drift [7]. The initial RAAN of some debris is smaller than the counterpart of their subsequent debris.…”

“…The mission planning for multiple debris removal on LEO was only started in recent years. Cerf investigated the cost requirement for an LEO space debris collecting mission [6] and proposed a three-stage method for the planning of successive space debris collecting missions [7]. Olympio and Frouvelle [8] studied the selection of debris for removal in sunsynchronous orbits (SSO) region and guidance to the selected debris using low-thrust propulsion.…”

“…Barbee et al (2012) proposed a series method that can find a goodwhile not necessarily optimalvisiting order for the ADR mission with relatively low computational load. Some researchers, including Cerf (2013;2015), Bérend and Olive (2016), introduced a drift orbit, which is an intermediate orbit that…”

“…As the ADR mission planning technique is developed from 2010s, most researchers minimized ∆v cost of fixed length of removal sequence under particular dynamic model assumptions, such as Barbee et al [14] is under co-elliptic rendezvous strategy, Cerf [13], [15] is under drift-orbit transfer strategy with J 2 perturbation considered, Braun et al [8] is under four different scenarios with J 2 perturbation considered, Yu te al. [16], [17] is under two-impulse rendezvous, Shen et al [18] is under four-impulse transfer strategy with J 2 perturbation considered.…”
