Right now, there are over 130 million objects, larger than a millimeter andover 36,000 objects that are bigger than a baseball, hurtling around the Earth. For over 60 years, we have sent over 15,000 satellites into space essential for communications, navigation, military surveillance, weather forecasting, disaster management and so much more. But what happens when they stop working? They are just left out there floating forever adding to the decades worth of space junk that is a serious problem and could cause long lasting issues for years to come. In order to tackle this problem and make space exploration more sustainable in the long term, space agencies and private companies are working together on some interesting projects and concepts to remove space debris.
