Pages in this sectionThe UK Space Agency is on mission to clean up space
In 2029, the UK Space Agency is launching a spacecraft to tackle the growing problem of space debris. In a world first, the high-tech spacecraft will use its giant robotic claws to grab two dead satellites and remove them from orbit. Clearing this ‘space junk’ will protect active satellites which we rely on every day.
