In order to cope with the space debris problem, improvements of observation and protection technologies must be considered. The main concern is that there is a gap between observable size (10cm) and protectable size (a few mm). Burying this gap by enhancing both observation and protection technologies will greatly contribute to solving the problem. I would like to outline what is currently going on the areas of space debris observation and protection in the world and introduce our activities in JAXA on these area.
