Rather than debris removal there needs to be focus on just not producing more. Put limits on how long a satellite can be in orbit after end of life. The market will figure itself out after that happens.
- johnwalkr 4y agoThis is already done, although without significant penalties (and maybe impossible to add them as there is no global government to enforce them). Nonetheless basically all satellites plan to be in a low temporary orbit in the first place, or have plans/margins to either move into a higher parking orbit or deorbit. But things can fail, preventing these actions.
