This document defines the primary space debris mitigation requirements applicable to all elements 
of unmanned systems launched into, or passing through, near-Earth space, including launch vehicle 
orbital stages, operating spacecraft and any objects released as part of normal operations.
The requirements contained in this document are intended to reduce the growth of space debris by 
ensuring that spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stages are designed, operated and disposed of in a 
manner that prevents them from generating debris throughout their orbit lifetime. The requirements 
are also intended to reduce the casualty risk on ground associated with atmospheric re-entry of space 
objects.
This document is the top-level standard in a family of standards addressing space debris mitigation. 
It is the main interface for the user, bridging between the primary space debris mitigation objectives 
and a set of lower level standards and technical reports that support conformance. The lower level 
documents contain detailed requirements and implementation measures associated with the high-level 
requirements in this document.rd edition 2019-07 Space systems — Space debris mitigation requirements Systèmes spatiaux — Exigences de mitigation des débris spatiaux Reference number ISO 24113:2019(E) ？ ISO 2019 ISO 24113:2019(E) COPYRIGHT PROTECTED DOCUMENT ？ ISO 2019 All rights reserved.
