Overview of the Space Debris Mitigation Standard Framework

Standard formulation background and technology evolution analysis

With the increasing frequency of space activities, the issue of space debris has become a focus of global attention. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) and the United Nations (UN) have all issued relevant guidelines. ISO has translated these consensuses into specific standards, promoting more standardized design and operation of space systems.

Implementation recommendations

1. Design phase: Ensure that spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stages do not release debris into Earth orbit during normal operation, paying special attention to the size control of combustion products.
2. On-orbit management: Avoid accidental disintegration events, regularly monitor the status of the spacecraft, and ensure that it is disposed of before the end of its life.
3. Post-mission phase: Depending on the specific orbital position (LEO or GEO), take appropriate measures to move the spacecraft out of the protected area, such as controlled reentry or orbital maneuvers.
