The satellite designed to examine space debris has started its mission. ADRAS-J behind the satellite named astroscale It was located.
The ADRAS-J satellite, developed by Astroscale Japan, was put into orbit with the launch in recent months. ADRAS-J, which was taken out of the Earth’s atmosphere using Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket, was selected by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for the first phase of its official program for cleaning up space debris. Space debris (old satellite parts and more) rotating at a very high speed in orbit puts both current and future missions at risk.Since it is not possible to clean the garbage, it is vital to determine their location. working on this issue in a targeted manner ADRAS-Jas previously explained Rendezvous with the upper stage of an old Japanese rocket that has been in orbit since 2009 and began to monitor the situation closely after receiving the photo above. This process before The company reveals itself in the animation you can watch right below.It can take clear images with the cameras on the satellite, which is safely transported to the garbage, analyzes the condition of the debris that remains in orbit for a long time by acting at an equal level, and provides direct on-site information to scientists about whether it can be introduced into the Earth’s atmosphere and destroyed.
