Technological ‘to-do list’ to reach Zero Debris created

The growing problem of space debris

There is an increasing willingness in the space sector to tackle the problem of space debris . Yet much of the required technology to mitigate or prevent its risks is still missing.

Preventing new debris, avoiding collisions and the timely clearance of satellites from orbit at their end-of-mission are complex challenges that each require a variety of practical solutions.

Released to the public on 15 January 2025, the Zero Debris Technical Booklet  is a community-driven document that identifies technologies that will contribute to the goal of Zero Debris by 2030 . Essentially, the Booklet forms a technical Zero Debris ‘to-do list’.
