Active space debris removal faces substantial technical and economic challenges, as highlighted by ongoing research into the complexities of orbital tracking, international security, and situational awareness.

The analysis

The claim states that active space debris removal systems face significant economic and technical hurdles. Papers [1] and [8] discuss the technical and socio-political/security complexities involved in orbital debris identification and space situational awareness. No papers refute the claim, and it is well-supported by the literature.
