Space debris cleaning missions
Today space debris became rather an important issue to be solved in the space exploration area. That is why a lot of space companies wanna make some ``cleaning`` missions to clean the Earth`s orbit from this space junk. So could you please name some ``cleaning`` missions which are about to be launched in the nearest time?

Re: Space debris cleaning missions
On the website of uk aerospace news I found another ``cleaning`` space mission which is called ‘The Claw’. So it`s another space debris cleaning mission which is gonna be launched soon in 2025Graeme1858 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 6:00 ambearnard00 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 1:10 pm So could you please name some ``cleaning`` missions which are about to be launched in the nearest time?

Re: Space debris cleaning missions
There are 4 ways how we can handle with space junk 1)we can design & program sats such that they switch to a lower orbit when we replace a sat with a new one automatically and burn up in outer atmosphere 2)we can use high power lazer that could burn them up in the orbit. 3) we can send them toward sun where they would burn up. 4)or we can adopt a technique that require less sats. I guess the easiest way to cope with space junk is to make them burn down in the atmosphere. However, it depends on the size of some space debris. It can be so large that it won't just burn down in the atmosphere
