removal of spacecraft, short TeSeR, is an innovative project of 11 partners led by Airbus
D.S
within the HORIZON2020 framework of the European Union
. The main idea is to develop a
removal module
that can be carried
into orbit by future spacecraft of any size
and mass
into any orbit, interconnected only by a
standardized interface. At early 2019, a prototype shall already have demonstrated the main functions. This paper
presents the autonomy considerations for the design of t
he overall post

mission disposal module and focuses on three
areas: the status detection of the host S/C by the PMD module, the removal triggering by the PMD module in case of
lost link to ground and malfunctioning host S/C as well as the passivation of th
e host S/C and the PMD module itself
