Abstract: We give some short information on objectives and problems of the international project LEOSWEEP that is performed by a set of Ukrainian organizations in collaboration with leading European space organizations. The project deals with development of the first space mission directed on the contactless deorbiting of upper stages of launchers. |
| Keywords: deorbiting of launchers, project LEOSWEEP |
