Orbital debris
intelligence.

VEHICLE-ODI transforms orbital debris monitoring into an auditable extraction strategy founded on the Borda Milan Pyramid — measuring relational and internal tension to determine which objects must be removed first.

The legal-technical framework
for orbital responsibility.

The Orbital Debris Responsibility and Removal Paper establishes a forensic attribution methodology, a multi-actor contribution formula with calibrated coefficients, and a proposal for an International Orbital Debris Removal Fund — grounded in the Outer Space Treaty, the Liability Convention, and COPUOS frameworks. This is the document that positions VEHICLE-ODI as a civil, auditable, and institutionally relevant architecture.

Decision Layer

Structure before collision.

ODI does not simply track where orbital debris is. It applies the V_op operator derived from the Borda Milan Pyramid to determine which object must be extracted first — based on relational tension, mass, proximity, and systemic risk — before a Kessler cascade becomes irreversible.

Responsibility Layer

Auditable and non-offensive by design.

Every extraction recommendation is traceable, documented, and governed by explicit ethical limits. ODI is a civil institutional tool — its output is a prioritized removal queue, not a weapons system. The responsibility paper provides the legal and institutional framework that supports this framing.

Evidence Layer

A live decision surface as proof of concept.

The demo runs a real-time simulation of 280+ orbital objects across six bands — LEO, SSO, MEO, GEO — applying the OTI formula live. Crisis scenarios including Fengyun-type fragmentation, A1 conjunction, and Kessler cascade are testable directly in the browser.
