Japan is preparing to roll up its sleeves alone to solve a problem that is really the problem of the whole world and that we must solve together. As you know the orbit of the earth We’ve been sending satellites or similar spacecraft for 64 years.

As you know, rockets with space vehicles like these satellites or planetary explorers travel the route they should go, leaving behind modules. Or spacecraft that is no longer in use, now dead floating in space† ‘To all the dysfunctional gadgets in this room’‘space junk’ it is called.

Japan plans to clean up space debris with laser

In order not to damage the Earth by somehow falling or to avoid future space tourism, this is: space debris needs to be cleaned up† In fact, there have been studies on this topic before, but Japan is really rolling up its sleeves this time†

Orbiting the Earth, according to the European Space Agency (ESA) There are about 1 million pieces of debris larger than 10 centimeters† Toru Yamamoto, a researcher with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), said in an interview that he was on a mission to remove space debris. announced that they planned to use laser beams.

Space researchers capture space debris with laser beam will evaporate and a new object will push into orbit plans to create a pulse of energy. Thanks to the laser beam, nobody has to touch dirt.

space dumps, It can travel about 7.5 kilometers per second. that is much faster than a bullet and needs to be cleaned. Currently, the Japanese project is in an experimental position, but the idea is They hope to test it in space in the spring of 2025.† What do you think?
