Abstract
In recent decades, there has been a desire to establish permanent human settlements on the Moon, leading to the proposal and development of the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway, the first cislunar orbital laboratory, stationed on a L2 Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit. This study will result in a significant increase in the number of spacecraft in the cislunar space in the near future. To comply with new space debris regulations, e.g. the recent FCC 5-year deorbit rule to avoid the pollution of cislunar space, proper disposal of spacecraft in such region of space is necessary and advisable. However, most past missions have been directed to impact the lunar surface, which may not be a sustainable long-term solution.
Therefore, this paper aims to propose an alternative strategy for debris mitigation of satellites, which involves transferring them from NRHO to Low-Earth Orbits and performing a controlled re-entry
