Present status of debris environment and predictable damage caused by them, such as effects to manned space activities, damage of satellite or other spacecraft caused by their collision, dropping of substances to the ground, radioactive contamination, effects to astronomical observation, and interference with space experiments are outlined. An overview of present status and problems of debris observation and tracking system and an ideal debris observation system is presented. The objectives of a debris observation and arresting system and definition of their subjects are introduced. The results of studies of observation equipment (sensors), including contacting and non-contacting sensors, and their selection is introduced. Orbits, mission duration, operational condition, and overall satellite systems are outlined.
