Drones will help get rid of space debris in Earth's orbit

There are more and more satellites in orbit that have spent their time. Daniel Campbell, project leader for space debris mitigation, explained that their invention would help tackle the problem.

According to Campbell, the solution is in special drones. Small devices, the size of a refrigerator, have the ability not only to dock to satellites, but also to control them. The service life of the satellites will increase accordingly. When they become unusable, space drones will take non-working vehicles out of the Earth's orbit.

Campbell also assures that, with proper funding, drones can launch all large objects out of orbit, thereby clearing outer space of debris.
