A constraint programming model for planning constellation-servicing debris removal
Constellation-servicing active debris removal (ADR) is a potential solution to deal with failed constellation satellites. A new Open Access paper from Adrián Barea and Hodei Urrutxua from URJC and Juan Luis Gonzalo and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano proposes a constraint programming-based framework for preliminary ADR mission analysis.
Environmental impact of object breakup in medium-Earth orbit
The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Juan Luis Gonzalo, Andrea Muciaccia and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano, and by Francesca Letizia from the European Space Agency presents the extension of a space debris index formulation to the medium Earth orbital region, developed in the framework of the ESA-funded project THEMIS.

Density-based in-orbit collision risk model valid for any impact geometry
The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici, Juan Luis Gonzalo, and Camilla Colombo presents a novel approach for the estimation of the in-orbit collision risk posed by a space debris cloud to orbiting satellites in any orbital regime and conjunction geometry.

Density-based evolutionary model of the space debris environment in low-Earth orbit
The new paper published by Lorenzo Giudici and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano and André Horstmann, Francesca Letizia and Stijn Lemmens from the European Space Agency presents a novel density-based model for the long-term propagation of the space debris environment in low-Earth orbit.
The paper is available here.
