Space debris removal demo set for launch

Space debris removal demo set for launch A mission will launch to space this weekend that aims to demonstrate commercial technology to remove orbital debris, such as a defunct satellite. The showcase is being staged by the Astroscale company and will be run from an operations centre in the UK. With more and more satellites being launched every year, there is now an imperative to try to keep orbits above the Earth clear of old junk. And this ought to drive a vibrant market for debris removal services. We are entering an age of satellite constellations and some of these spacecraft could fail in orbit - and that would be a serious issue, said John Auburn, Astroscale s UK managing director.

It estimates there have been more than 560 break-ups, explosions, collisions, or anomalous events resulting in fragmentation. While rocket launches have placed about 10,680 satellites in Earth’s orbit since 1957, around 6,250 of these are still in space, but only 3,700 are still functioning. A collision with space debris could have a big impact on satellite services people rely on every day, including mobile phones and online banking. The servicer satellite has been developed to safely remove debris from orbit, equipped with proximity rendezvous technologies and a magnetic docking mechanism. The client satellite is a piece of replica debris fitted with a plate that enables the docking.
