prevent further accumulation of space junk
by equipping new satellites
with Re-entry Capability
Old space junk includes intact and not-intact defunct satellites
- unknown number of pieces of different sizes
- even very small debris poses extraordinary risk to spacecraft
Re-entry capability for wide-spread expired satellites' splashdowns in the ocean requires
the streamlining of existing monitoring and reentry technology
- could be open sourced if the application were developed in view of our common future in space
An integrated package:
- monitoring/tracking coordinates of position in orbit
- guidance software
- micro rockets or small propulsion system
We will be a space faring civilization.
