The number of in-orbit debris is dramatically growing and the current guidelines for limiting their proliferation are less adequate to face nowadays situation. The research proposes to develop a systematic way to investigate the effectiveness of the different mitigation and remediation measures. This is done integrating a density-based model for in-orbit objects propagation with a feedback controller on the environment, mimicking human actions in space, to reach a target scenario. The tool will be a valuable support to the definition of a new strategy for the sustainable future utilisation of space.
