In recent years, the increase in space debris has become a problem in space development, and various technologies for removing it have been investigated. In this study, to investigate the possibility of debris removal by electron beam ablation, we performed a computational analysis of the attenuation of electron beams in ionospheric plasma, the temperature rise of debris due to electron beam irradiation, and the propulsion obtained by ablation.
