Laser–induced plasma jets are an effective and versatile method to reposition space vehicles. Applications include launching, reorbiting and deorbiting. Because spacebased laser systems for this purpose are expensive, it is critical to know the maximum amount of momentum transferred to a vehicle per unit of laser energy. This „momentum coupling coefficient” Cm (N-s/J) mainly depends on five...

We present here designs for a staged implementation of an orbiting debris remediation system comprised of a super-wide field-of-view telescope (EUSO) and a novel high efficiency fibre-based laser system (CAN). Initial proof of concept stages will operate from the International Space Station (ISS) where the EUSO telescope has been designed for operation as a detector of ultra-high energy cosmic...

Mini-Euso is a small telescope to be installed in the ISS by the end of 2017. It looks at earth through a UV window on the Russian segment, with two 25 cm Fresnel lenses. It is a pathfinder to Jem-Euso, pathfinder dedicated to assess the technology and look during the night at luminous events like storms, meteors, etc. It detects single photo-electrons with large dynamics.
At (ISS) sunset...
