Abstract

Classification of space objects according to their size, mass and density is presented. Methods developed for assessing the degree of near-Earth space contamination by space debris are reviewed briefly. General principles of providing passive and active protection for spacecraft are analyzed. Based on the developed model of particle motion under the conditions of electrodynamic armor, the areas of its efficient application are specified. It is shown that the current level of development of structural materials and high-pulse energy storage devices does not fully ensure the possibility of their full-scale efficient use in spacecraft protection systems. It is stated that it is necessary to develop additional measures to ensure the space flight safety, for example, by developing service spacecraft on the basis of unified space platforms, the primary purpose of which would be the active removal of space debris.
