TLDR
Estimates of damage generated by past and future space activities can be used to help determine one-time legacy fees and fees on future activities, which can deter future debris generation, compensate operational spacecraft that are destroyed in future collisions, and partially fund research and development into space debris mitigation technologies.About:

Studies on Space Debris Tracking and Elimination
Abstract: Due to the growing number of space debris orbiting about the earth, cost effective space traffic control and space debris elimination techniques are inevitable. The fact is that the orbital debris is self-generative due to satellite breakup as a result of collision with space debris. The probability of threat to life is bound to increase with the increase in space debris over the years. If the debris problem is not addressed, it will soon become unmanageable and detrimental to future space emissions. The paper bestows a comprehensive review on space debris and addresses a conceptual design for tracking and elimination of space debris using a central control facility with the support of multiple geosynchronous satellites .

Adaptation to Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines and Space Law
TL;DR: The history of space law formulated during the United Nations’ General Assembly is justified, along with the resolutions that took place throughout recent years, and where the future focus on legal factors should be when considering space debris mitigation.

Research on Leakage Location of Spacecraft in Orbit Based on Frequency Weighting Matrix Beamforming Algorithm by Lamb Waves
TL;DR: A frequency weighting matrix beamforming algorithm is proposed to solve the problems in leak location and weighting method is used to compensate the frequency band response of different leak holes.

An International Environmental Agreement for space debris mitigation among asymmetric nations
Michael J. Singer,John Musacchio +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how ideas from the International Environmental Agreement (IEA) literature can be applied to the problem of space debris mitigation, and they combine these two models with empirical launch-share data for a single mitigation measure (deorbiting spacecraft at the end of operational lifetime).

NASA's new breakup model of evolve 4.0
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the new breakup model to the old breakup model in detail, including the size distributions for explosions and collisions, the area-to-mass and impact velocity assignments and distributions, and the delta-velocity distributions.

Risks in Space from Orbiting Debris
TL;DR: The LEGEND (LEO-to-GEO Environment Debris model) is a high-fidelity three-dimensional physical model developed by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that is capable of simulating the historical environment and the evolution of future debris populations as discussed by the authors.
