UK Space Agency Targets Defunct Satellites With New Spacecraft
The UK Space Agency has announced plans to launch a spacecraft, dubbed the Space Binman, to remove defunct satellites from orbit by 2029. The spacecraft, designed and built by ClearSpace, will use four specialized grabbing arms to capture and drag satellites to Earth’s atmosphere, where they can burn up safely. The mission will initially target two British satellites and will be the first to be built and launched entirely from the UK. This development was reported by Unknown Source.
