摘要

Space debris is an increasing problem. The exponentialrnincrease of satellite launches in the last 50 years hasrndetermined the problem of space debris especially inrnLEO. The remains of past missions are dangerous forrnboth operative satellites and human activity in space.rnBut not only: it has been shown that uncontrolledrnimpacts between space objects can lead to a potentiallyrndangerous situation for civil people on Earth.rnIt is possible to reach a situation of instability where thernbig amount of debris could cause a cascade of collisions,rnthe so called Kessler syndrome, resulting in therninfeasibility of new space missions for manyrngenerations. Currently new technologies for thernmitigation of space debris are under study: for whatrnconcerning the removal of debris the use of laser to giverna little impulse to the object and push it in a graveyardrnorbit or to be destroyed in the atmosphere. Anotherrnsolution is the use of a satellite to rendezvous with thernspace junk and then use a net to capture it and destroy itrnin the reentry phase. In a parallel way the research isrnaddressed to the study of deorbiting solutions to preventrnthe formation of new space junk. The project presentedrnin this paper faces the problem of how to deorbit anrnexisting debris, applying the studies about the use ofrnpolyurethane foam developed by Space Robotic Grouprnof University of Bologna. The research is started withrnthe Redemption experiment part of last ESA Rexusrnprogram. The foam is composed by two liquidrncomponents that, once properly mixed, trig an expansivernreaction leading to an increase of volume whose entityrndepends on the chemical composition of the two startingrncomponents. It is possible to perform two kind ofrnmission:rn1) Not controlled removal: the two components arerndesigned to react producing a low density, highrnexpanded, spongy foam that incorporates the debris. ThernA/m ratio of the debris is increased and in this way alsornthe ballistic parameter. As a consequence, the effect ofrnatmospheric drag increases and the orbit life time isrnreduced.rn2) Controlled removal: the reaction of the tworncomponents leads to a high density, medium expanded,rnrigid foam. The idea is to create a link between thernsatellite and the object: in this case the deorbit isrnperformed by the cleaner satellite propulsion, in arnsmaller time compared to the first configuration.rnSeveral tests and designs are in implemented to achievernthe goals of the research.
