Analysis of the requirements perfermance of Interagancy coordination committee on debris prevention

The authors consider the requirements of the interagency document “Guidelines for the activity management on the decrease of the space pollution” and discuss the possibility of their fulfillment. The analysis of the long-term evolution of the GLONASS and GPS satellites orbits made in the article shows that the minimization of the eccentricity at the end of the active functioning is the easiest and the most effective way for collision prevention in the area of medium earth orbit. In the article it is shown that for guaranteed safety of the acting orbital group of the GLONASS system the height of the disposal orbit should be different from the nominal orbit at least at 450 km at the eccentricity value not exceeding 0,0004. According to the data provided in the article in the period from 1999 to 2011 almost the half of the satellites were transferred to the orbit meeting the requirements of the “Support to the IADC Spaces Debris Mitigation Guidelines”. The sample of the “Express-A3” satellite illustrates the possibility of the transfer of the satellites located at the western border of the Russian tracker stations visibility zone from the GEO to the disposal orbit.
