FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to move space debris from working orbits to recycling orbits. The method includes taking towing spacecraft and a self-contained docking module into the region of an orbit from which space debris is to be cleared. The sequence of removing space debris is selected by comparing a criterion, for example the probability of the space debris colliding with other space objects, for each space debris. Compensation for accumulated errors of motion parameters of the towing spacecraft during previous manoeuvres, as well as the pointing system is distributed between correcting pulses of the towing spacecraft at the long-range guidance step and of the self-contained docking module at the self-guidance portion.
EFFECT: high efficiency of removing space debris from working orbits.
