| Description: | Orbital debris is a growing problem threatening Low Earth Orbit (LEO) assets that provide foundational services and data critical in modern society. The debris population is especially concentrated in popular orbits such as Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO). Active Debris Removal (ADR) and On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) offer a means to reverse the threat of debris while maintaining vital satellite operations. The Autonomous Mission for On-Orbit Servicing (AMOOS) team has examined the state of the art for both ADR and OOS and identified challenges associated with its technological, business, economic, political, legal, and social aspects. From these considerations, the team was able to redefine the AMOOS mission to maximize its potential for real-world success. It includes a series of recommendations to ensure a sustainable and safe use of outer space while offering new business opportunities. |
