 The SafeSpace™ System | Orbital Debris Mitigation Concept
The following outlines one conceptual framework intended to spark discussion, not a finalized engineering design.

The SafeSpace™ System | Orbital Debris Mitigation Concept

1. Autonomous Collection Drones

Robotic units equipped with:

  • Steel-mesh debris net systems
  • Collision avoidance AI
  • Solar charging arrays
  • Real-time orbital tracking

These drones are envisioned to match the velocity of debris, capture it, and deliver material to an orbital collection unit.

2. Orbital Holding Structure (“The Collection Tube”)

A massive cylindrical structure positioned in stable orbit to store collected debris.

It features:

  • Modular expansion
  • Shielded internal compartments
  • Multi-drone docking
  • Future recycling integration potential
  • This concept represents the central element of the SafeSpace™ system

3. Final Disposal Trajectory

Once the structure reaches capacity:

conceptual visualization.

  1. A propulsion assembly attaches to the unit
  2. A controlled trajectory is plotted
  3. The debris-filled structure is guided into a safe solar disposal orbit
  4. Material would be envisioned to be removed from Earth’s orbital environment through controlled solar disposal concepts.

This approach is intended to support a cleaner and more stable orbital environment.

How SafeSpace™ Works (Step-by-Step Flow)

  1. Debris Detection
    Autonomous drones are envisioned to identify debris using optical and radar sensors.
  2. Velocity Matching
    Drones synchronize speed and vector with debris targets.
  3. Capture Phase
    A steel-mesh net system secures debris without fragmentation.
  4. Transport
    The drone returns captured material to the orbital holding structure.
  5. Storage & Compaction
    Debris is deposited and secured inside the collection tube.
  6. Capacity Threshold
    When full, the unit is prepared for guided disposal.
  7. Solar Disposal
    Debris is safely removed from Earth’s orbital ecosystems.
