空间碎片清理方式与总体思路

Space Debris Clearance Method and General Idea

空间碎片严重威胁航天活动的安全,正逐渐成为人类航天活动的公害.对于不同尺寸与轨道高度的碎片,可采用不同的方法进行主动清理,从而减少碎片的数量,才能从根本上解决问题.文章简要地介绍了当前出现的多种碎片清理技术方案,并比较、分析各类清理方法的适用性和主要优缺点,进而提出一种总体清理思路,最后总结了空间碎片清理技术的关键技术及重点发展方向.

Space debris is a serious threat to the safety of space activities, rapidly becoming a public hazard of human space activity. For these various scale and different orbit height debris, could use of many different active cleaning methods to reduce the number of them, so as to solve the serious problem funda- mentally, and this is probably the only best way. This paper briefly introduces a variety of debris cleaning technical schemes among so much of existing ones, and compares them with each other, analyzes the advan- tages and disadvantages and applicability of various types of clearance modes, and then provide a general idea for debris clearance. Finally, this paper summarizes the key points for space debris cleaning and the major development direction.
