The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced its new study on orbital debris.

According to Amac News: This organization said that the new report was entitled "Cost and Benefit Analysis of Reducing, Tracking and Correcting Orbital Waste".
The study compared the cost-effectiveness of more than 10 different strategies that could be used to reduce the risk of collisions between satellites and orbital debris, the NASA report said.
The study is a follow-up to a previous paper published in 2023 by a team of researchers from NASA's Office of Technology, Policy and Strategy (OTPS).
The new study attempts to directly estimate the cost of space debris to satellite operators. This includes direct damage to satellites from accidental collisions and the cost of maneuvering to avoid debris, which burns fuel and shortens mission life.
The team plans to follow up this study with further estimates of the cost-effectiveness of combining different ways to reduce the risks of space debris.
Charity Weeden, who leads NASA's OTPS, said: "This study is part of NASA's work to rapidly improve our understanding of that environment, as outlined in NASA's recently released Space Sustainability Strategy by applying an economic lens to the issue. vitally explained."
The study models the evolution of the orbital environment over the next 30 years, looking at the hazards posed by all types of debris, from large intact satellites and rocket stages to the smallest fragments created by collisions.
This study evaluates the effects of various debris reduction and remediation strategies, including rapid exit of spacecraft at the end of missions and proactive removal of large pieces of debris.
