Space missions in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) are severely affected by the build-up of orbital debris. A key practice, to be compliant with IADC (Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee) mitigation guidelines, is the removal of space systems that interfere with the LEO region not later than 25 years after the End of Mission. It is important to note that the current guidelines are not generally...
Following a business as usual scenario, some Low Earth Orbit (LEO) regions could be unusable for many decades because of the space debris growth. In order to reduce that trend, the current probability of success of the chosen End of Mission (EOM) disposal method shall ensure a target value of 90% [1]. Understanding reliability of satellites and their subsystems for different spacecraft classes allows...
