Abstract

This paper explores feasibility of debris removal industry and conducts its profitability analysis. A comprehensive assessment model based on Entropy-weighting TOPSIS method is proposed to assess six most popular debris removal methods and then determine an optimal one. The model combines five measure indexes (cycle, cost, effect, risk and benefit) to evaluate feasibility of each option quantitatively and qualitatively. Further, with help of optimized Monte Carlo method, AHP etc, conclusions are made that Electrodynamics Tether method and satellite are the optimal solution for short term and long term respectively. Last, strength and weakness are discussed while future work is addressed.
