Abstract
The issue of space debris is one of the greatest challenges that space exploration and utilization face today. It refers to the accumulation of non-functional artificial objects (decommissioned satellites, spacecraft fragments, rocket stages, etc.) orbiting the Earth. These debris pose an increasing risk to operational satellites, crewed space missions, and space infrastructure such as the International Space Station (ISS). Preventive measures and regulations are therefore necessary to mitigate the problem. For some time now, the European Space Agency (ESA) has been working to ensure that new space missions have a deorbiting time of no more than five years. In addition to these regulations, dedicated space missions have been developed with the goal of Active Debris Removal (ADR).
This work contributes to the ADR field through the design and analysis of a debris capture system inspired by Origami principles, which allow for compact storage and lightweight yet mechanically robust deployable structures
