Research Abstract |
The space debris mitigation method was developed using the interaction between space plasma and biased mesh electrode. The pseudo-debris was charged and attracted by electric field from mesh electrode by means of applying voltage on mesh electrode in a vacuum chamber filled with plasma. The electric force measured with pendulum angle was agreed with theoretical one.
