Many innovative, radical and respectable space debris remediation ideas are being proposed these days. Most of them are under constant development and many others have been taken up by space research organizations of different countries. But a good number of methods still suffer from technical and or financial imperfections. Space debris is a problem that hasn’t yet been contemplated by many countries. The Kessler Syndrome makes the situation even more serious for the ongoing space operations and manned activities in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This paper discusses major unconventional methods that are being taken into account by many concerned space institutes, professionals and students. The difficulties which these ideas face are discussed in this paper. A new concept of space debris removal, Deorbiting Cylindrical Orbiter (DeCOrb), is introduced along with its potential design and ability to take versatile forms.
