prevent further accumulation of space junk
by equipping new satellites
with Re-entry Capability
Old space junk includes intact and not-intact defunct satellites
- unknown number of pieces of different sizes
- impacts on defunct orbiting crafts that result in pieces ranging in scale down to micrometeorites
- even very small debris poses extraordinary risk to spacecraft
Thick adhesive coating and fine mesh to cover in entirety the exterior of an orbiting craft to prevent debris from forming from very small impacts
- the strongly and specifically adhesive material has a fine three-dimensional structural mesh interwoven into it skeletally (Ann)
- example, sturdy strong substance effectively gel-like, fused with fine lattice structure composed of three dimensional layering and include a sort of cross hatching to maximize coincidence with incoming debris
- alternatively, whether there are special applications of something like graphene
Re-entry capability for wide-spread expired satellites' splashdowns in the ocean requires
the streamlining of existing monitoring and reentry technology
- could be open sourced if the application were developed in view of our common future in space
An integrated package:
- monitoring/tracking coordinates of position in orbit
- reentry guidance software
- micro rockets (Armstrong) or small propulsion system
We will be a space faring civilization.

Recalled:
- Parallel home computing plus telescope time to search pieces: ie where over earth are they?
- storehouse of experimental data for sim of aerobraking
