Earth-orbiting objects, large enough to be tracked, have been surveyed for possible systematic debris removal. Based upon the statistical collision studies of others, it was determined that objects in orbits approximately 1000 km above the Earth's surface are at greatest collisional risk. This study has identified Russian C-1B boosters as the most important target of opportunity for debris removal. Currently, more than 100 intact boosters are orbiting the Earth with apogees between 950 km and 1050 km. Using data provided by Energia USA, specific information on the C-1B booster, in terms of rendezvous and capture strategies, has been discussed.
