US-based technical and scientific research, development, and advisory services provider, Aerospace has secured a Nasa grant to develop Brane Craft, an extremely thin spacecraft concept that would wrap around space debris and remove it from Earth’s orbit.
The 1m² Brane Craft spacecraft model weighs around 50g and is less than half the thickness of a human hair.
Due to its size, the spacecraft is very lightweight, manoeuvrable and fuel-efficient.
The Brane Craft is one of 13 ideas that were selected for Nasa Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) programme, which provides $100,000 for nine months of research, with option for another $500,000 for two more years if the results are encouraging. ....
