    A Bi-Directional Plasma Thruster for Safe Deorbiting of Space Junk

    Understanding Kessler Syndrome and Its Challenges As the problem of space debris escalates, the Kessler Syndrome presents a significant threat to satellites, spacecraft, and future space missions. The phenomenon occurs when the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) is high enough that collisions between objects create even more debris, leading to a cascading…
