The need for debris mitigation is illustrated in the context of historic launch activates and operational practices. This has led to the existing space debris environment, with consequent collision flux levels that are based on detailed population and evolution models. Therefore mitigation of space debris has become a major concern for us humans lately. National space agencies have proposed many space debris mitigation measures to reduce and stabilize the predicted long term growth of space object population. Through this article we take a closer look at the mathematical analysis of three main strategies adapted to reduce and stabilize the growth of space debris.
