  2. 18. CIMR re-entry strategy and challenges
    Francesco Santilli (Thales Alenia Space - Italy)

    At the end of its operational life, CIMR satellite will perform a re-entry phase to comply with the ESA Clean Space policy. Given the mission's complexity, the presentation will detail critical aspects and innovative strategies for attitude control during perigee lowering, providing valuable insight into navigating challenges and ensuring a clean and controlled conclusion of the mission.

  3. 19. Passive detumbler design for LEO missions
    Maxime Senes (Airbus DS - France)

    To limit the risk of cascading collisions, we will need active debris removal missions to retrieve satellites that die before they can be deorbited. It is well understood that sudden fatal failures can cause a dead satellite to tumble uncontrollably, but even properly decommissioned satellites may start tumbling spontaneously from solar radiation pressure torque buildup, making capture...

  5. 38. GNC for an Active Debris Removal mission
    Jean-Sébastien Ardaens (ClearSpace)
    14/11/2023, 15:40

    Active Debris Removal (ADR) is the ultimate technical solution to enforce a zero debris policy in the presence of old space objects which were not designed to be deorbited, or in case of malfunction of a deorbiting system. Such a technology is, however, extremely complex due to the noncooperative nature of the target and therefore often very expensive. ClearSpace intends to demonstrate the...

  7. 22. Evolution of ESA Debris Mitigation policy
    Francesca Letizia (ESA)
    14/11/2023, 17:10

    Since the beginning of the space age, there has been more space debris in orbit than operational satellites. In the recent years, we have been witnessing a significant change in the use of space, specifically in Low Earth Orbits, with launch rates around 10 times higher than 10 years ago. At the same time, the level of compliance with space debris mitigation measures has not improved with the...
