Scientists Push News Today

Astroscale's ADRAS-J demo satellite is now in orbit to hopefully clean up space garbage in LEO.

On-ground laser systems could soon be the answer to vaporizing space debris around Earth's orbit.

The Earth's orbit is notorious for its trash, but Airbus' tech aims to make it safer. Airbus' latest venture is fighting against the uncontrollable problem of tumbling dead satellites left behind in the Earth's orbit with the so-called 'Detumbler,' looking to keep these in place.

The growing case of space junk orbiting around the Earth proves why cleanup is important. A chunk of a default payload adapter that launched in 2013 was the subject of a clean-up mission to rid it from orbit, but it was ironically hit with another space junk that caused it to split into smaller pieces.
