It's only slightly related and not a likely solution since finding space debris is an issue but there was an Anime I recently watched called Planetes that followed a team of space debris collectors that I would recommend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes

Collecting space debris became a large issue in the story because of civilian space travel expanding and collisions that lead to catastrophe. They bring up the Kessler syndrome more than once as well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome which describes a moment at which there would be too much debris in space to launch anything else for a long time.
