The ReDSHIFT (Revolutionary Design of Spacecraft through Holistic Integration of Future Technologies) project was concluded on March 31, 2019. The 3-year project involved 13 European partners and was aimed at studying, implementing and testing novel solutions for space debris mitigation. The focus was on passive means to reduce the impact of Space Debris by prevention, mitigation and protection. The project was based on a synergy between theoretical and experimental aspects, such as: long term simulations, astrodynamics, passive de-orbiting devices, 3D printing, design for demise, hypervelocity impact testing, legal and normative issues. The paper presents an overview of the main results of ReDSHIFT, in an effort to highlight the holistic approach of the project covering different aspects of the space debris mitigation field.
