Protecting space stations from deadly space debris

Summary In 2009 an Iridium satellite and a defunct Cosmos satellite collided in space creating a debris field that would likely destroy any satellite or space craft passing through it. From this event and other objects launched into space the orbital paths around the Earth are cluttered with junk putting at risk the space technologies our civilization relies on. To mitigate this problem ESA is sponsoring the ClearSpace-1 mission to capture and dispose of a derelict piece of space junk.
