Europe signs $102M deal to bring space trash home
The European Space Agency says it is signing a 86 million-euro ($102 million) contract with a Swiss start-up company to bring a large piece of orbital trash back to Earth.
ClearSpace One, formerly CleanSpace One is a technology demonstration satellite first developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL). It is intended to test technologies for redezvous, capture, and deorbit for end of life satellites and space junk. Destructive reentry will destroy both the captured satellites and itself.
86 Millionen Euro für die Entsorgung von 112 kg - geht das nicht günstiger?
