Space Debris Removal in Minimal Time

Justin Ruiz

Abstract: Millions of man-made objects are orbiting the globe, and they are multiplying, slowly covering Earth's orbit in a net of destruction. This problem is a variation of the traveling salesman problem or TSP for short. Thankfully Dario Izzo, Daniel Hennes, Ingmar Getzner, and Luís F. Simões researched possible ways to solve a TSP for minimizing fuel usage during space junk removal. This paper demonstrates the intricacies associated with finding efficiencies to  leaning up space debris as well as explores a potentially effective algorithmic solution when time considerations are introduced.
