The technology needed for missile defense should be very similar
to that needed for orbital space debris removal systems.
Hmm, let's see what I can google.....

NASA, DARPA Host Space Junk
Wake-Up Call

"There are some 300,000 objects larger than one centimeter
and they are all moving at hyper-velocity. The only way to
address this huge population is with laser technology,
Campbell noted.Orbital debris removal is a complex
problem, one that will require an umbrella of technologies
to do a complete solution, he stated."

"Anything that can go up and grab a piece of debris and
bring it down well, it can also grab somebody's operational
satellite and bring it down. Thats a space weapon,
he cautioned."
http://www.space.com/7644-nasa-darpa-host-space-junk-wake-call.html


Darpa is looking into the issue with this solicitation a couple
of years ago for possible technologies for a system.

DARPA Orbital Debris Removal (ODR)
Solicitation Number: DARPA-SN-09-68

"Information is sought from all potential sources, domestic
and foreign, on innovative technological solutions that will
enable the Government to provide orbital debris removal
capabilities"
https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=a55fd6e5721284ee7df2068d2b300b5f


Here's one response...

"Responded to DARPA Orbital Debris Removal (ODR) Request

Here's a nicely detailed paper on space debris removal, it's a bit
dated, but according to this research....

This does not deal with the smaller debris that is also dangerous.
Why not launch a sub-orbital rocket that ejects a cloud of Tungsten
dust so the dust cloud is going the opposite way most debris is
moving. The dust cloud would reduce the speed of small debris causing
it to fall into the atmosphere. The dust cloud could be launched so
it has almost orbital velocity so it travels almost once around the
earth before it re-enters the atmosphere.

Not true, missile defense warheads only need to intercept targets and
not rendezvous and capture. Missile defense systems only need less
than 1/4 orbital velocity.

But lasers are the future, and for the larger pieces, missile
defense and orbital debris have the same difficult tasks,
tracking and intercepting objects in orbit. If you can knock
down a chunk of debris, you can take out someone else's
satellite. A fine line between weapon and utility.

<flame war pause>
Fred's right. Any high-energy collision in orbit generates lots more,
smaller debris. An ASAT test or operational mission breaks the target up
into many, many smaller pieces. Those pieces (in very low orbits) do
decay faster than the larger satellite but they do exacerbate the debris
problem, since even very small objects ruin your whole day when they hit
at 20,000 miles per hour (your orbital velocity, hitting another whose
vector is orthogonal to yours).

There's no simple way (or even complex way as far as I know) to remove
the inventory of small (1-10mm) objects in orbit. Launcher manufacturers
now try to minimize the numbers of springs n'things that get released
along with the satellite after boost and in GEO, there's been a policy
of long standing to boost satellites into the graveyard when some
critical system exhausts its redundancy pool or consumables supply but
orbital debris is a problem that's here to stay. BMD technology doesn't
offer any solutions.

Any debris sweeper would need the characteristic of hugely inelastic
collision that dissipates kinetic energy in something like a gas that
dissipates and then allows both the sweeper and the swept to de-orbit
quickly. Think about ice-cube projectiles.

But lasers, not interceptors, are becoming the weapon of choice, and
lasers also can remove debris. Dual purpose!

Using Lasers in Space

Laser Orbital Debris Removal and Asteroid Deflection

"Claude Phipps suggested the use of laser propulsion with
a ground-based pulsed laser as a solution to the orbital debris
problem in 1994 (Phipps 1994). The Orion Project, which was
a study conducted by NASA and the USAF in 1995-96,
concluded that the concept of using ground-based lasers for
removing orbital debris is feasible and cost effective relative
to the cost of placing objects in orbit (Campbell 1996).
http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/cst/csat20.pdf


And since we've recently built just such a ground based
laser facility the paper suggests is needed, I think this
approach is becoming reality for both issues.

Try this experiment for yourself. Put a chair with wheels on
a smooth floor, so that is moves easily. Sit down on the
chair with a bowling ball or other heavy object in your
hands. Then suddenly extend your arms outward with
the mass. You'll see the chair moves backwards, and
then back to original spot when you retract your arms.

The center of mass is conserved. It's no different for
a rocket engine, by spitting out mass in one direction
it must move in the opposite direction to so the
center of mass remains in the same spot. It has
nothing to do with air friction.

Actually, no. The typical way that a missile defense system works is by
impacting the incoming warhead at very high speeds. This approach would
create more, admittedly smaller, bits of debris if it were applied to
"orbital debris removal". Since it could only target objects which can
be tracked (bigger than 1 cm), it would actually create more debris
which would be smaller and therefore untrackable. Since debris smaller
than 1cm can actually do great damage to orbiting satellites, this is
NOT a valid way to remove debris.

Note that such "debris removal" methods have NOT yet been developed.
Since there are unknowns involved, it's hard to say with certainty how
effective such methods would be at the task "grab somebody's operational
satellite and bring it down".

DARPA looks at lots of "far out" technologies. If, and only if, they've
developed them into operational systems can we evaluate what they're

That's an observation system, not a debris removal system, nor an anti-
missile system. It therefore has nothing to do with your baseless
assertion that "technology needed for missile defense should be very
similar to that needed for orbital space debris removal system".

Agreed, at least for today's missile defense systems.

Jonathan Googled a lot of stuff about possible future technologies, some
of which *might* not cause additional debris to be created. Still, I
agree that it was largely Googlespew which does not support his original
assertion.

So, you're saying neither tasks involve tracking and
somehow effecting objects in orbit? You can't be

You may not want to advertise your ignorance on such a public scale.

BTW, the fact that there's no vacuum if anything helps.

A rocket is no different than a jet engine in terms of what it does: "move
lots of mass very fast in one direction, why the craft goes in the other".
A jet engine doesn't work by pushing against the air behind the plane.

Absolutely true.

The "pushing against something" analogy leads people to the wrong
conclusions. It's far easier, for a rocket engine, to look at the
pressures acting on the combustion chamber and exhaust nozzle. When
those are summed, the net result is a force in the direction of travel
for the rocket.

In fact, a rocket engine works *better* in vacuum.

You entire argument is based on the fallacy that a rocket has to push
against something external. Like the air. In real fact the rocket is
pushing against the combustion chamber oppostie to where there is
nothing to push against. Very, very simple - easy to demonstrate,
even easier to prove with mathematics and logic. However it is a
scenario you will not look at or consider due to your "belief" (did
you know there is always a "lie" in "belief") in that a rocket pushes
against the atmosphere. No dear Warhol, the less atmosphere the
harder the combustion pushes against the opposite side which is at the
bottom of the rocket and the better the rocket works.

Very thoughtful anecdote, Gordon. I predict Warhole will dismiss it out

Yep - so should we all. BUt he really is such a deliciously easy

When a star explodes, why does stardust go off in all

I did, but you're too lazy to do the math. I did the math years ago in
my aerospace propulsion class. I don't need to do it again to know that
it still holds true.

I understood how a rocket engine worked in grade school, due to some
very nice diagrams in several books in my school library. I didn't know
how to do the math to prove it until college.

I suppose all of those comsats in geostationary orbit just flew up there
on their own, right? Hint: without a working rocket engine, they could
never be there because they could have never circularized their orbits.
That burn has to be done at apogee.

But I suppose you don't understand orbital mechanics any better than you
understand aerospace propulsion, do you?

It never ceases to amaze me that some people refuse to believe the
simplest of things which are based on basic physics.

Now I've never put a cat in a microwave for 20 seconds,
but that's the type of cat that Warhole most resembles.





PS- Come to think of it, in the movie mentioned in my
sig, Kick Ass, they took a guy and put him in an industrial
microwave used for drying lumber. It wasn't pretty.

That was as high as he was thinking of aiming at the time with the
technology he had.

Technology improved since 1919.

It's like if a car designer in 1919 had envisioned a car that could do
100 miles per hour, and saying today no greater speed on land was
possible because that original designer had aimed at 100 miles per
hour as their target.

Also at the time high altitude research was massive. This was when
they took aircraft engines up Mount McKinley to test them at high
altitudes. In World War One Zeppelins had gotten up to some high
altitudes, and specialized Zeppelin interceptors, but even they could
only get up so high. Getting altitude data was big and Goddard saw a
use for his rockets, pushing the technology of the time. 110 KM was
really high in 1919.

Sounding rockets are still used today, a few were recently launched
from the Virginia Coast if I recall correctly.

because of the force of the atmosphere which pushes the air out the
balloon... and which forms a kind of reactor where air pushed against
air... but in vacuum those condition would change...

thrust or no thrust... the great question...

in vacuum this experiment doesn't work... so is the law of Newton...

Or we could just sandblast spacecraft before we launch them for much the

There are estimated to be more than 100 million pieces in orbit,
posing a growing threat to future space exploration, scientists say.

Researchers are using a so-called electrodynamic tether made from
thin wires of stainless steel and aluminium. The idea is that
one end of the strip will be attached to debris which can damage
working equipment葉here are hundreds of collisions every year.

The electricity generated by the tether as it swings through the
Earth's magnetic field is expected to have a slowing effect on the
space junk, which should, scientists say, pull it into a lower and
lower orbit. Eventually the detritus will enter the Earth's
atmosphere, burning up harmlessly long before it has a chance to
crash to the planet's surface.
