Orbital Debris Remediation Systems
Active capture and de-orbiting of space junk to protect infrastructure.
Specialized spacecraft equipped with nets, harpoons, lasers, or drag-enhancing devices rendezvous with derelict satellites and debris. By removing high-risk objects, they reduce collision cascades that could threaten communications constellations and crewed missions.
