Britain begins mission to deorbit old satellites
The British government has launched a space project valued at over 60 million pounds, aiming to remove two decommissioned satellites from Earth's orbit by 2032. The mission relies on a spacecraft equipped with robotic arms to capture the defunct satellites and lower their orbits so they burn up upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. The spacecraft is scheduled to be launched in 2029 from the Saxavord base in Scotland. The project seeks to reduce space debris threats to vital infrastructure, enhance on-orbit maintenance and repair capabilities, and support Britain's position in space technology while laying the groundwork for a profitable industry in the future.
