High-power lasers offer a unique potential for debris collision avoidance and orbit lowering for removal purposes within the debris mitigation scenario. This technology can be used to remove space debris from Earth's orbit, reducing the risk of collisions and the need for costly and complex missions. The use of high-power lasers in space debris removal is a promising approach, as it can be more efficient and cost-effective than traditional methods. However, there are still challenges to be addressed, such as the development of reliable and efficient laser systems, as well as the need for precise targeting and tracking of space debris. Nevertheless, the potential of high-power lasers in debris mitigation is significant, and further research and development are needed to fully realize its benefits.
