Space Debris Removal via Laser Ablation: Experimental Progress
The increasing accumulation of space debris presents significant risks to satellites and space missions. One promising solution is the use of laser ablation to generate thrust and manipulate debris orbits. Our research focuses on identifying the optimal laser parameters for this purpose and developing a simulator to predict thrust under various conditions.
