The hazard to mission operations posed by space debris in Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) is considered. A number of debris mitigation strategies are considered. These include the harnessing of the luni-solar perturbation to the satellite orbit, atmospheric drag augmentation, and active propulsive deorbit. Results suggest that active deorbit using a dedicated propulsive unit offers the least performance penalty.
