A Single-Averaged Model for the Solar Radiation Pressure Applied to Space Debris Mitigation Using a Solar Sail

A Single-Averaged Model for the Solar Radiation Pressure Applied to Space Debris Mitigation Using a Solar Sail

Several non-functional objects are orbiting around the Earth and they are called space debris. In this work, we investigate the process of space debris mitigation from the GEO region using a solar sail. The acceleration induced by the solar radiation pressure (SRP) is the most relevant perturbation...
