AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing debris removal technologies fail to prevent space debris from intruding into congested orbits or regions, as exemplified by the towing satellite technology disclosed in Patent Literature 1, which does not address the risk of collisions in such areas.

Method used

A pre-built debris removal satellite is launched by a rocket and captures debris at an orbital altitude higher than the congested orbit region, and the debris removal satellite is launched by a rocket and captures debris at an orbital altitude higher than the congested orbit region, and then operates a propulsion device to prevent the debris from intruding into the congested orbit region.

Benefits of technology

The debris removal method effectively prevents debris from entering congested orbits by capturing and maneuvering it to avoid collisions, ensuring the safety of satellite constellations in high-risk areas.
