Among the objects comprising space debris, defunct satellites are commonly found, which may have been abandoned in space due to various anomalies. While these satellite failures may not be catastrophic, certain subsystems could still be repurposed for alternative uses beyond their initial design. This study aims to assess the feasibility of “recycling” partially failed satellites, also known as “Zombie Satellites”, by statistically evaluating the severity of their anomalies and quantifying their remaining capabilities and limitations. By conducting a comprehensive statistical analysis, the anomalies have been categorized based on subsystem, orbit type, occurrence date during the satellite’s lifespan, and severity. Additionally, an analysis is presented to identify failed satellites from some of the current large constellations.This work was sponsored in part by the I+D+i project of UPC GENESIS project PID 2021-1264360B-C21 financed by MCIN/AEI. Additionally, this work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation and the European Union–NextGeneration EU , in the framework of the Recovery Plan, Transformation and Resilience (PRTR) (Call UNICO I+D 5G 2021, ref. number TSI-063000-2021-8-6GSatNet-SeS).Peer Reviewed20242024-04-0120242024-04-11journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/406378https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.actaastro.2024.01.048reponame:UPCommons.
