"#Astroscale also has plans to inspect and later remove a discarded Japanese #rocket stage using a #spacecraft built in cooperation with the #Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (#JAXA). That spacecraft, called ADRAS-J, could embark on its space-cleaning mission in 2025, according to Astroscale. #ESA also plans to remove a spent rocket body from orbit in 2025 using a junk collector spacecraft built by Astroscale's competitor #ClearSpace."

#PhysicsWorld đŹđ§ "the official line from the #government đ˘ is that #SpaceLaunch facilities will be a boon to the #UK economy, swelling UK industry capitalization from ÂŁ17 billion now to ÂŁ40 billion đ° by 2030. One hurdle is #competition. There are around 168 #LaunchCompanies around the world đ, at different stages of development. Even if many fall by the wayside the #LaunchMarket will inevitably become crowded, making it a challenge for UK #SpacePorts to compete.
#Skyrora uses #Ecosene, a premium kerosene derived from unrecyclable #plastic waste đď¸. #Orbex uses the renewable ultralow-carbon fuel #BioLPG. #ClearSpace and #Astroscale are designing missions to remove #SpaceDebris." https://physicsworld.com/a/uk-spaceports-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly

Startup #ClearSpace is aiming to remove space debris, and has raised $29M towards that venture. Long road ahead still, but interesting to see the venture progress.
