Britain’s house company is on the lookout for a provider to construct a robotic spacecraft to seize and de-orbit two defunct UK-licensed satellites from low Earth orbit.<\/p>\n

The proposed Lively Particles Elimination (ADR) mission proposes to ship up a specifically designed spacecraft geared up with “cutting-edge British robotic and autonomous navigation know-how” to seize and convey down the 2 non-functioning satellites from low Earth orbit (LEO).<\/p>\n

This being the UK, the Area Company has a finances of \u00a375.6 million ($103 million) to make this occur, which does not look like an enormous quantity to us – though it does bear comparability with the $81.4 million (c \u00a511.8 billion) its Japanese counterpart awarded to orbital services firm Astroscale<\/a> to take away the higher stage of a rocket from orbit.<\/p>\n
