I like the idea of the nets very much, but I am confused by the harpoon approach.
I understand how the harpoon allows to snag a satellite, and than pull it out of orbit, but I can hardly believe that the harpoon impact in itself does not create additional debris. And given that even the slightest speck of dust at orbital speeds is amazingly destructive in a collision, 1 intact satellite might be less dangerous than 5 small parts of metal produced by an attempt to remove the intact satelite
One thing I don't get, why did they have to launch a subsatellite to test the net even though they had a map of where most of the debris is located.
How the future will look like? I think the headlines will look like this; "Elon Musk finds a way to collect all spacejunk."
The launch of Space X's Operation Junk Wars (Collect Junk and Recycle on the spot, transport it back
to earth).
I'm telling ya, that car he shot up there is remapping the location of debris...
This seems like a really great initiative. It is scary the amount of crap that is flying around out there! When you say sail, are you talking a solar sail? That is pretty awesome if that is the case. I think that is a technology we definitely need to explore more and if they can implement it here to do the good work of this debris cleaner, even better!

Hi, @oendertuerk. It's a scary subject, but with so much space movement, I do not think it's impossible to remove the space junk.
Deine Posts sind hammer. Very informative, valuable and the effort is well appreciated. Thank you!

you are right, but i dont know how they will handle it.

It's an interesting idea. You can track it here
@faustofraser the subsatellits were only for tests. i dont know if and how they will handle future missions.
