SATELLITE WITH DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON TO ELEMINATE SPACE DEBRIS

OBJECTIVES

To deal with the space junks, the idea of a satellite with directed energy weapons as a futuristic solution

·        The objective is a futuristic solution to deal with the space junks and the idea of satellite with directed energy weapon is a highly focused energy emitter which laser, microwave and particle beam to burn the object.

SUMMARY

Space debris (also known as space junk) is a term for defunct human-made objects in space—principally in Earth orbit—which no longer serve a useful function. Once the fuel runs out, the satellite eventually drifts into space and out of operation, become Space debris. Recently people have been discussing about this new alarming topic and all the space agencies are addressing it especially European Space Agency. More than 34,000 man-made objects in space and there is no international regulation to bring them back. When Chris Hadfield talked about fixing the hole in ISS by duct tape people start taking this issue even more seriously and then plenty of solutions were suggested and still going on.
