The feasibility of a mission for the active removal of a large massive debris in Low Earth Orbit region is investigated. Critical aspects and related technologies are investigated at preliminary level. A preliminary mass budget shows that the chaser spacecraft overall mass varies in the range 1500-1700 kg, with Hybrid Propulsion Module of about 900 kg.

Abstract

The feasibility of a mission for the active removal of a large massive debris in Low Earth Orbit region is investigated. Critical aspects and related technologies are investigated at preliminary level. A preliminary mass budget shows that the chaser spacecraft overall mass varies in the range 1500-1700 kg, with Hybrid Propulsion Module of about 900 kg.
