Space Debris removal mission animation - RemoveDEBRIS

We created this animation for Surrey Space Centre, who are awaiting launch of their RemoveDEBRIS spacecraft, which will test a variety of debris removal technologies. It puts into context the issue of space junk, and shows how Surrey Space Centre, in collaboration with others in the space sector, are building missions to test and refine methods for removing and reducing space debris. The official spiel: "Since the beginning of the space age, over 7,000 tonnes of space junk has been generated - mostly empty rocket casings and dead satellites. Most of the objects launched into space are still orbiting the Earth, threatening collisions with active satellites. Our exhibit invites you to explore our flagship RemoveDEBRIS mission, which aims to be the first to test capture technologies that drag space junk back into the Earth’s atmosphere to burn up."
