Abstract

The increasing number of space debris is an ongoing problem which has caused a considerable harm to all kinds of spacecraft. The main target of this paper is to make an optimal business plan that private firms could adopt in the field of active debris removal (ADR). Thus, ADR is just simplified as a business practice. We discuss four ADR projects, including Laser Orbital Debris Removal, Cube Sail, Clean Space One, and Space Debris Micro Remover. The Profit Evaluate Model analyzes the overall profit and yearly profit under the criteria of various operating period; the Principal Component Analysis Model focuses on the evaluation of optional main factors. By applying those simulated parameters, we reach a conclusion that the best single project to remove space debris is Cube Sail.
