The space cleaning campaign is starting.

  The space cleaning campaign is starting.

For the first time, a Swiss company will undertake a cleanliness drive in space. 

The European Space Agency has said that it is signing a deal of 86 million euros for this work with representatives of Swiss startups.

At present, thousands of pieces of waste and other types of waste are circling the earth, orbiting the earth. There is a danger of them colliding with the satellites currently working there and even the International Space Station.

The company, called Clearspace, hopes to send a special satellite to space in 2025 that will collect pieces of garbage orbiting the Earth's orbit.

The founder and CEO of Clearspace have also warned that the threat will increase further as there are plans to send "hundreds even thousands of satellites" in the coming years. According to him, the failed satellites must be removed from a very crowded area.

How will cleanliness happen?

The first mission of space cleaning will be done in Clearspace-1 space at a fixed place by a piece of a 112 kg wasted rocket. This piece of a rocket is being called Vespa. In 2013, it helped bring a satellite to space. ESA says that it will be good for a beginner due to its strong structure. In the subsequent missions, the more difficult things, and then the garbage heap will be cleared.

After reaching Vespa, Clear Space-1 will pull it out of the Earth's orbit so that after reaching the atmosphere it will burn itself out.

The European Space Agency says that ESA will find a new way of working by paying for Clearspace, rather than developing a way to clean garbage from space itself. The agency will pay for its expertise and first mission. The Swiss company will get the remaining expenses from business investors.
