Back in February 2009, I posted to the Moon, Mars, and Beyond blog some items dealing with space debris.

Chad sent me a link to Mike Combs short story, "Deadly Debris" which it looks like DARPA should now read. A very riviting story.

In September DARPA released a Request for Information (RFI) regarding orbital debris removal capabilities. Tiny URL for

Launchspace http://www.launchspace.com/editorials.html had an editorial September 28, 2009 entitled Space Debris Gets Some Respect, which mentions it.
----------------------
For the last few decades the international space community has freely used near-Earth space for many important applications without regard for the impact of artificial satellites on the space environment. Although space-faring nations have spewed trash from 200 km to beyond 36,000 km, the space below about 1,600 km has been severely abused. Recent events have finally persuaded the U.S. Government to start thinking about cleaning up this environmental "super fund site." No, it is not the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that has been given the task of figuring out how to remove space debris. It is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a part of the Department of Defense (DOD).
On September 17th, DARPA released a Request for Information (RFI) regarding orbital debris removal capabilities. This request is addressed to all potential domestic and foreign sources and it asks for innovative solutions that might lead to the eventual removal of orbital debris.

If folks would like to participate in on-line discussions of topics like Deadly Debris in space, Google has a way to do this with Google Wave.
It is by invitation only for now and MemphisDJ sent me an invitation so I have been reading up on Google Wave, watching videos, and looking at some conversations.

I thought I would post this to a New Wave and if you have a Google Wave account you can let me know what you think.
Title is: Deadly Debris
