ADRAS-J Captures First Image of Space Debris: A Crucial Step Towards Orbit Cleanup

Broke On: Tuesday, 30 April 2024 Astroscale Japan's ADRAS-J spacecraft captures the first portrait of space junk in orbit, marking a crucial step towards understanding and addressing the growing issue of space debris. The mission demonstrates necessary skills for on-orbit services and aims to deorbit a rocket body using robotic arm technology. Space debris, consisting of millions of pieces orbiting Earth at high speeds, poses risks to new spacecraft and the International Space Station, as well as environmental implications through vaporized residue impacting the ozone layer and climate.
