According to reports from Swiss media, Swiss scientists announced on the 15th local time that they will develop a space garbage cleaner. It will be like a vacuum cleaner and it will be able to suck satellites and rocket fragments floating in space into their own stomachs.
According to scientists from the Swiss Space Center, this garbage cleaner is only the first of a planned series of clean-up space junk products. According to the center's data, there are 16,000 garbage in space that is greater than 10 cm in diameter. And small-sized waste particles amount to hundreds of millions. The rubbish is flying around the earth at a speed of a few kilometers per second. The Swiss Space Center stated that it will quickly take practical actions to clean up space debris.
According to the center's spokesperson, there are two ways to clean up space debris. One is to collect garbage and burn it in the earth's atmosphere. The second method is to collect the garbage and send it back to the atmosphere while the cleaners stay in space to continue working.
A report issued by a Swiss reinsurance company last year claimed that the probability of a collision between satellites and space debris every year is one ten-thousandth. (Wu Yan compiled)
