1) Be Space debris company

2) Setup shadow satellite corporation

3) Satellite corp launches satellite to valuable orbit, and intentionally separates into 2-3 easily caught pieces. "Oops! Our satellite failed"

4) space debris company cleans up the orbit quickly and easily, receives bounty from government agency

5) Profit

A little far-fetched maybe, but there's a good sci-fi short story wrapped up in there.

Obviously the fix for this is to let the one that wants to have the satellite in that orbit pay for the cleaning of that orbit instead of some government.

I should still pre-emptively trash some valuable Sun-Synchronous orbits before anyone else launches. Incentive is still there!

Well, if we're imagining dystopian science-fiction stories in this vein, let's say that the salvage company automates their cleanup with an AI approximately as sophisticated as YouTube. Now every satellite launch is subject to malicious "take down" requests from competitors along with the whimsies of the algorithm.

6) Shadow satellite corporation contracted to destroy Beidu navigation system.

Someone is coding themselves a minivan I see.

Only because space debris are a negative externality at this time. If there was an (international) way to fine companies based on the trash they left in orbit, this would all be very straightforward.

There's thankfully a very obvious repercussion to leaving stuff in orbit that anyone planning to put something in orbit can see in obvious ways, unlike the delayed and hard to account for impact on the climate any one company will have.
