They’ll start in 2025, with a mission to catch a small-satellite-size device remaining from a 2013 mission, and perform controlled atmospheric reentry.
The mission, codename ClearSpace-1, will demonstrate if it’s possible to safely bring back space debris.
This is an important milestone for establishing a new commercial market for cleaning space.
