To address the need of reducing the number of space debris orbiting the Earth, the innovative low-cost Space
Debris Deorbiting System (SDDS) is currently under development. It will allow frequent-rate intercepting and
decelerating debris to the velocity necessary for subsequent deorbiting. The system is based on an existing
level of technology and aims to achieve an extremely low cost for each deorbiting mission by utilizing
existing commercial launch systems, common environmentally friendly chemicals, and reusable hardware. The
targeted size of space debris can vary from tiny untraceable particles to full-size relict boosters and
defunct satellites. The system will be capable to work at all altitudes from Low Earth to Geosynchronous and
above.
