    Abstract
  • The removal strategy of space debris is one of the most key technologies to achieve the goal of clearing space debris in a wide range of sizes from 1 to 10 cm actively using ground-based lasers. In order to develop an effective strategy for removing space debris, we firstly studied on the influences, which the changes of different velocity components had on the altitude of new orbit's perigee, finding that the same velocity increment along different velocity components has different effects on lowering the altitude of perigee. And then combined with the geometrical and physical of ground-based lasers, the constraint conditions that determine the area of orbit transfer were deduced. Finally, a general strategy, removing space debris in the way of continuous impulse orbit transfer using ground-based lasers, was proposed based on those mentioned above. Moreover, space debris removal using ground-based lasers is realized and the effectiveness of the clearing strategy is also verified through simulation experiments.
