- The propulsion which enables the return of a satellite or upper stage of a launcher after failure must become double fail safe.
- Space Tug type of vehicles (electrical, chemical, tether, or a combination of these) which can be launched into critical orbits, which can remove obsolete/failed objects from these orbits.
- Interferences and Cyber Security.
