    Abstract:

    Traditional space debris removal technology with chemical fuel is costly, and it is difficult to be implemented. An innovative method, which is based on ground electromagnetic launch technology, was proposed to remove the space debris. The projectile was launched to the space utilizing ground electromagnetic launch technology which is effective with low cost, and then the particle cloud was released out, which can make the debris can go out of its orbit. The debris was removed by the friction effect during falling out of orbit. As eliminating chemical propellant, which accounts for the majority of the cost, the proposed strategy utilizing ground electromagnetic launch technology to remove the space debris provides an effective and low cost method for space debris removal.
