High-Altitude Laser for Orbital Debris Mitigation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This study examines depositing laser energy on small space objects (<10-cm) to impart impulse (ΔV) for space debris removal. Irradiance on objects at various orbit altitudes is projected for ground-based, high-altitude platforms, and space relays.
