Retrospective of the Space Debris Problem. Part 1. Technogenic Clogging of Space and Means of Its Control.

A review of the latest journal and book publications on the problems of technogenic clogging of near-Earth space and methods for solving them is carried out. Based on the results of publications, we analyze international standards, present space debris classification, analyze the main sources of space debris formation and methods for clearing debris from space, estimate the evolution of technogenic clogging of low-Earth orbits, and the implementation of the process of removing space debris. The papers for modeling space technology systems designed for recording and evaluating fluxes of space debris in spacecraft orbits are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
