U.S. studies in orbital debris

Abstract

The combined effect of the natural meteoroid flux and the man-made debris on future space operations is discussed. The radar and optical systems used to study orbital debris are examined with special attention given to the Haystack Debris Observation Project and the Haystack radar at Millstone Hill, which is being modified to enable it to observe the regions of interest to the Space Station. Consideration is also given to techniques designed to remove objects from space.
