In order to remove space debris such as rocket parts drifting in outer space, a major satellite communication company has begun to develop an artificial satellite that emits a laser beam to drop the debris into the earth's atmosphere.

There are more than 20,000 pieces of space debris around the earth, such as rocket parts and used satellites, that have a size of 10 cm or more, and if they collide with an operating satellite, it will cause failure, JAXA= Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is working with companies to develop technology to remove the JAXA.

Under such circumstances, a major satellite communication operator, “SKY Perfect JSAT” and RIKEN, etc., have started to develop an artificial satellite that uses laser beams to remove space debris in collaboration with JAXA.

The satellite to be developed irradiates a laser beam on dust and drops it into the atmosphere of the earth by the force of the gas that blows out.We aim to launch the technology into space and verify the technology three years later.

JAXA aims to foster the removal of space debris into a business of a private company, and a space venture company is developing a satellite that uses a magnet to remove space debris. We are developing a satellite that can be captured by.
