%X Since the launch of the first artificial satellite around the Earth up to the present date, various non-functional objects are orbiting the Earth, such as deactivated satellites, satellite components, rocket bodies, among others. These objects can collide with operational satel- lites or other debris, generating a cloud of smaller particles. Space agencies are concerned about the current scenario of the space envi- ronment. If we continue as we are the number of objects in orbit will make it difficult to operate safely in the space environment. So space exploration may become unsustainable (ESA (2020)). In this work, the orbital evolution of these objects that are located in the geosta- tionary orbit (GEO) is analyzed. In the mathematical model we consider the main disturbing forces, such as the direct solar radiation pressure (SRP), the perturbation of the third body (Sun and Moon) and the Earth oblateness. The SRP is the most relevant perturbation for objects with larger area-mass ratio. Knowing this, the possibility of using a solar sail is considered to help to clean the space envi- ronment. The main natural environmental perturbations that act in the orbit of the debris are considered in the dynamics. Such forces acting in the solar sail can force the growth of the eccentricity of these objects in the GEO orbit. Several authors have presented models of the solar radiation pressure considering the single-averaged model. But, doing a literature research, we found that the authors consider the Earth around the Sun in a circular and inclined orbit. Our contribution to the SRP model is in developing a different approach from other authors, where we consider the Sun in an elliptical and inclined orbit, which is valid for other bodies in the solar system when the eccentricity cannot be neglected. The expression of the SRP is developed up to the second order. We found that the first-order term is much superior to the second-order term, so the quadrupole term can be neglected. Another contribution is the approach to identify the initial conditions of the perigee argument (g) and the longitude of the ascending node (h), where some values of the (g; h) plane contribute to amplify the eccentricity growth. In the numerical simulations we consider real data from space debris removed from the site Stuff in Space. The solar sail helps to clean up the space environment using a propulsion system that uses the Sun itself, a clean and abundant energy source, unlike chemical propellants, to contribute to the sustainability of space exploration.
