Abstract:

Orbital debris poses a great thread to human space activities and high power laser is considered to be the most feasible method to migrate its hazard. A physical model is built in this paper based on an analysis of the process of laser radiation against space debris. The orbital elements of space debris under laser radiation are studied numerically and the findings are applied to space debris collision avoidance with a satellite. A simulation example is set up to study the space debris avoiding process. In addition, numerical results of the orbital elements of space debris and their relative distance from the satellite are obtained in the circumstance of laser interaction. The simulation results show that a ground-based laser may effectively control the orbit of space debris realize the avoidance of satellite collision.

Key words: space debris, laser ablation, impulse coupling, orbit maneuver, numerical simulation
