Introduction
This wiki is an information page about a study on a huge problem that is known as the Kessler Syndrome. This Kessler Syndrome is basically a form af cascade failure. It starts with for example 2 sattelites colliding, this collision will cause a lot of debris to fly around in orbital space. This debris will then again collide with other debris, space stations or satellites, which can eventually lead to a shield of debris around the planet earth. The importance of this problem will be further explained and several solutions will be considered and discussed. The study is done for a TU Eindhoven course: Robots Everywhere (0LAUK0). While studying this problem and its possible solutions, it is made sure that the 3 USE aspects: User, Society and Enterprise, are central.
Problem definition
As mentioned in the introduction the problem that will be studied is the Kessler Syndrome. In the long term this shield of debris around the earth can have disastrous consequences. Starting with the consequence of not being able to send any new satil
Objectives
- Solution:
Stakeholders
While the problem described above is a very ambitious one to solve entirely, we believe the work we can do in 8 weeks is more than enough to impact multiple stakeholders. We will identify stakeholder groups and look at what our project can do for these groups. The users of this project are hard to define. Since the project aims to do research at the development of an autonomous robot which cleans up orbital debris, there are no real direct everyday users who will directly be influenced by the success of the project. However, long term effects will certainly have an impact on almost everyone were the Kessler Syndrome not to be stopped.
