Abstract
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) has become a crowded environment due to the increasing number of operational satellites and space debris generated by human activities in space. This overpopulation presents several significant challenges to the sustainability and safety of space activities, requiring careful management and proper disposal of obsolete satellites and orbital debris. Indeed, once their operational life is over, these satellites contribute to the space debris problem, adding to congestion and increasing the risk of collisions with other operational satellites. Therefore, it is critical to adopt effective disposal policies and practices to minimize risks and preserve the sustainability of future space activities.
In this context, the European Space Agency (ESA) has developed specific guidelines and regulations that require satellites that are no longer operational to be deorbited in a controlled and safe manner, ensuring they re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and disintegrate completely
