Abstract
Technologies for the removal of space debris fragments of artificial (man-made) origin from near-Earth space is being proposed in order to provide the security of space flights. The fundamental principle of the proposed method is based on the utilization of intense solar radiation to direct and concentrate at space debris fragments with the aim of creating a plasma braking and transferring the fragment from a circular to an elliptical orbit following its subsequent burn up in the dense layers of the atmosphere. At the same time, the generation of substantial solar radiation is facilitated by a synthesized multi-aperture optical system situated in a heliosynchronous space orbit and permanently oriented towards the Sun.
期刊介绍：
Acta Astronautica is sponsored by the International Academy of Astronautics. Content is based on original contributions in all fields of basic, engineering, life and social space sciences and of space technology related to:
The peaceful scientific exploration of space,
Its exploitation for human welfare and progress,
Conception, design, development and operation of space-borne and Earth-based systems,
In addition to regular issues, the journal publishes selected proceedings of the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC), transactions of the IAA and special issues on topics of current interest, such as microgravity, space station technology, geostationary orbits, and space economics. Other subject areas include satellite technology, space transportation and communications, space energy, power and propulsion, astrodynamics, extraterrestrial intelligence and Earth observations.
