The use of shielding and orbital maneuvers for collision avoidance by spacecraft is standard aerospace practice well supported by general technical documentation, making a detailed individual citation unnecessary.
The claim refers to the known design and operational protocols of spacecraft like the International Space Station regarding debris mitigation. While specific papers discuss Whipple shields and trajectory optimization for debris, the fundamental combination of physical shielding and orbital debris avoidance maneuvers (ODAM) is basic operational knowledge for space stations and satellites.
