Large-debris active removal challenge: the hybrid propulsion approach

Contributo in Atti di convegno
Data di Pubblicazione:
2013
Abstract:
The feasibility of a mission for the active removal of a large massive debris in Low Earth Orbit region is investigated. Critical aspects and related technologies are investigated at preliminary level. A preliminary mass budget shows that the chaser spacecraft overall mass varies in the range 1500-1700 kg, with Hybrid Propulsion Module of about 900 kg.
