<p>This document defines detailed space debris mitigation requirements and recommendations for the design and operation of launch vehicle orbital stages in Earth orbit.</p>
<p>The requirements defined in this document are applicable for:</p>
<p>— avoiding the release of space debris;</p>
<p>— disposing of a launch vehicle orbital stage after the end of its mission so as to avoid a break-up in orbit;</p>
<p>— disposing of a launch vehicle orbital stage after the end of its mission so as to minimize interference with the protected regions;</p>
<p>— safely re-entering a launch vehicle orbital stage.</p>
