摘      要：Space debris have become exceedingly dangerous over the years as the number of objects in orbit continues to *** debris removal(ADR)missions have gained significant interest as effective means of mitigating the risk of collision between objects in *** study focuses on developing a multi-ADR mission that utilizes controlled reentry and *** mission comprises two spacecraft:a Servicer that brings debris to a low altitude and a Shepherd that rendezvous with the debris to later perform a controlled reentry.A preliminary mission design tool(PMDT)was developed to obtain time and fuel optimal trajectories for the proposed mission while considering the effect of J2,drag,eclipses,and duty *** PMDT can perform such trajectory optimizations for multi-debris missions with computational time under a *** guidance schemes are also studied,taking the PMDT solution as a reference to validate the design methodology and provide guidance solutions to this complex mission profile.
