This book covers the topic of Orbital debris, what it is, wher it comes from, what problems it introduces, and how to deal with it. . Putting a communications satellite in synchronous orbit will set you back 100's of millions of dollars. Once on orbit, you hope it survived the launch environment, and operates correctly. You further hope it works at least for its design lifetime, and as long as possible. This approach, based on good engineering design practices, lessons learned, and hope, it the equivalent of buying a new Tesla with non-rechargable batteries, and driving it until it stops. Then shooting it off towards Mars.
