Britain Leads Global Effort To Clean Up Space With Innovative Technology
The UK is preparing to launch a world-first robotic space debris removal mission, aiming to capture two defunct satellites and send them back towards Earth. The Active Debris Removal mission, scheduled for 2029, will demonstrate a new approach to clearing hazardous objects from orbit. The project is being delivered by the UK Space Agency in partnership with ClearSpace UK, and its success could have significant implications for the future of space operations. The mission was first reported by Innovation News Network.
