Abstract

This paper uses almost the latest SSR (by March 3, 2017) to present nearly 18,000 in-orbit objects which can be detectable by the ground with the size greater than 10 cm. After the statistical comparison and requirement analysis, this paper selects SSO orbit and its perimeter zone to be the target region to carry out space debris removal operation. By using the historical TLE data to analyze the long-term evolution rule of the object in these regions, some feasible strategies are given in order to remove more debris with less energy.
