Cutting-Edge Space Exploration Technology Maturity Level Facilitation with Support of Space Debris Removal Missions

Considering current space debris situation in outer space environment, different methods for debris removal missions are proposed. In addition, advanced technologies are needed to be demonstrated for future human space exploration programs. The main issue regarding to these missions is high mission cost for both debris removal missions and space environmental tests to achieve high maturity level for new space-usable technologies. Since, these missions are unavoidable for future of human space activities, a solution which can tackle these challenges is necessary. This paper will address to an idea which has the possibility to give a solution for facilitating technology readiness level (TRL) maturity tests by debris removal mission platform consideration.
