The main objective of this thesis is to find the best way to deorbit spent spacecrafts and upper stages. Deorbit has been proven to be the most effective measure for long term space debris mitigation. The analysis will focus on LEO orbital region, that is the most populated region of space, and consequently the region where implementation of deorbit is most necessary and urgent. Several solutions proposed in literature as deorbit systems will be analyzed and compared, based on numerical data

Abstract

The main objective of this thesis is to find the best way to deorbit spent spacecrafts and upper stages. Deorbit has been proven to be the most effective measure for long term space debris mitigation. The analysis will focus on LEO orbital region, that is the most populated region of space, and consequently the region where implementation of deorbit is most necessary and urgent. Several solutions proposed in literature as deorbit systems will be analyzed and compared, based on numerical data
