Abstract. A theoretical calculation of the effectiveness of using artificial plasma formation for the disposal of space debris in the dense layers of the Earth’s atmosphere has been carried out. An artificial plasma formation surrounds space debris and increases its midsection, which increases the aerodynamic impact of the Earth’s atmospheric traces. The artificial plasma formation is provided by a generator of finely dispersed formation, which is installed either on a service spacecraft or on a new spacecraft with self-disposal functions at the end of its life cycle. Ionization of artificial plasma formation is ensured by cosmic radiation and radioactive particles that are part of the generator of finely dispersed formation.

Keywords: artificial plasma formation, spacecraft, near-Earth outer space, own external atmosphere
