All rights reserved.The paper discusses the use of the interplanetary substance as a possible fuel for spacecraft’s plasma thrusters for interplanetary flights and the possibility of creation the electrodynamic space debris collection system in the upper atmosphere based on a plasma propulsor using the upper atmosphere medium and solar radiation to create plasma flows of the required intensity. The intensity is such that the debris is used for propellant as well as storage of the space debris. Moreover, the device would use a magnetic field to convert linear momentum of the debris into angular momentum for capture. Estimates of the basic material and energy characteristics of this state-of-the art system are obtained, which demonstrate the technical feasibility of the proposed device. Furthermore, the accelerator may also use plasma with motion of some of the debris as propellant.
