Passive debris mitigation measures are insufficient for the stabilization of the debris environment. In this light, considerable effort is being devoted to develop active debris removal and on-orbit servicing. Dedicated high-performance CubeSat platforms with propulsion system could make ",{"id":976,"funder":7,"programme":8,"title":977,"piName":10,"institution":978,"country":47,"year":13,"amount":10,"abstract":979},"cordis-marie-skłodowska-curie-actions-award-841315","Dynamic Interconnections for the Cellular Ecosystem","TELEFONICA INVESTIGACION Y DESARROLLO SA","Mobile networks are now rising to the status of critical infrastructure: there will be 11.6 billion mobile-connected devices by 2021, exceeding the world’s population.
