Abstract
Adherence to debris mitigation guidelines is critical for future robust space traffic management (STM). Debris mitigation guidelines are reviewed and their effectiveness at managing the space object population are contrasted against the means to comply with the guidelines. Specific concerns related to the deployment of large constellations are detailed to provide potential trade-offs for consideration in enhanced tracking systems to enable safe and efficient STM practices. The balance between reducing future debris deposition and minimizing the operational burden on satellites to maintain reliable operations are examined.
