I just published my first article in a peer-reviewed journal, Advances in Space Research. It treats about how Active Debris Removal, even if performed despite all the political and technological issues with it, may not prevent the growth of the number of debris in orbit.
But hang on a minute, don't people say that the only way to preserve key orbits for future use is to perform ADR? Well yes, they do. And this is why it's important to make people aware of the fact that ADR may be insufficient to achieve what it's intended to achieve. Whether it's necessary is a whole different question altogether.
