The term "space debris" refers to spacecraft not removed from orbit at the end of their service life, upper stages in the geostationary orbit region, as well as to the fragments of spacecraft and upper stages formed as a result of deliberate or accidental collision of spacecraft and upper stages with each other or with natural space debris. The problem of removing space debris from outer space is a global problem. Many countries are realizing projects on space debris cataloging, various technical means are being studied for space debris removal into graveyard orbits with parameters agreed upon by the international community. Various countries conducting space exploration have adopted special standards and guidelines for preventing the space debris formation The exponential growth of space debris poses a significant threat to future space missions and the sustainability of space exploration. This project focuses on the development and implementation of an innovative AI-driven framework for efficient and autonomous space debris removal. Leveraging advanced machine learning and computer vision techniques, the proposed system autonomously identifies, tracks, and categorizes space debris, enabling targeted and precise removal strategies. The framework integrates real-time data analysis, predictive modeling, and robotic control to orchestrate coordinated debris collection and disposal operations. Through a combination of satellite-based sensors, data fusion algorithms, and autonomous decision-making, the AI system demonstrates remarkable adaptability and scalability, ensuring the continual mitigation of space debris risks. Furthermore, the project emphasizes the importance of international collaboration and regulatory frameworks for the adoption of standardized practices in sustainable space debris management. This research represents a significant step toward the establishment of a safer and more sustainable space environment, fostering the continued progress of humanity's exploration and utilization of outer space.
