Скачать или смотреть Panel 3: Activating Active Debris Removal

Between 2008 and 2011, international scientists authored several studies showing that removing 5-10 large space objects a year by 2020 was necessary to mitigate the Kessler Syndrome. Yet a decade later, only a few small pilot programs are underway to develop the technology. This panel will discuss why that is the case and what we can do to spur governments and industry alike to get serious about removing orbital debris.
