Abstract

Libration Point Orbits (LPOs) and Highly Elliptical Orbits (HEOs) are often selected for astrophysics and solar terrestrial missions. No guidelines currently exist for their end-of-life; however, it is a critical aspect to other spacecraft and on-ground safety. This paper presents an analysis of possible disposal strategies for LPO and HEO missions as a result of an ESA study. The dynamical models and the design approach are presented. Five missions are selected: Herschel, Gaia, SOHO as LPOs, and INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton as HEOs. A trade-off is made considering technical feasibility, as well as the sustainability context and the collision probability.
