Abstract

This paper presents the Dynamic Integrated Space-Economy (DISE) model, which is designed to study the economic implications of alternative policies aimed at mitigating orbital debris. The DISE model combines a standard neoclassical growth model with a physical space model for orbital debris dynamics. The economic model categorizes capital assets into two types: Earth's capital and Space's capital (i.e., satellites). DISE is intended to calculate the cost of space debris and its impact on the global economy. The model is simulated for a 200-year period under different scenarios, including a clean space environment, laissez-faire, de-orbiting policy, debris-free launch systems, a combination of de-orbiting and debris-free launch vehicles, and collision avoidance.
