In recent times, the issue of space traffic has become a priority for the European Space Agency because of the threat posed by the increasing amount of debris orbiting the Earth.
Decommissioned or abandoned satellites, parts of rocket boosters and solar panels, and even simple nuts and bolts are orbiting hundreds of kilometres above our planet and moving at speeds of up to 28,000 kilometres per hour, posing an increasingly high risk to current and future space missions.
This is the problem being addressed by ClearSpace, a Switzerland-based deep tech company that's on a mission to make space - and particularly Earth's orbit - vastly more sustainable.
We recently caught up with Luc Piguet, co-founder and CEO of ClearSpace, to describe in more detail the nature of the challenge, and what it takes to remove junk from space, and its ambitious plans for the future.
