- The Space startups in Japan and India had agreed to jointly study using laser-equipped satellites to remove debris from orbit.
- This is an experimental approach to the increasingly imminent problem of orbital congestion.
- Tokyo-based Orbital Lasers and Indian robotics company InspeCity would study business opportunities for in-space services.
- It includes de-orbiting a defunct satellite and extending a spacecraft’s life.
- The Orbital Lasers plans to demonstrate the system in space and supply it to operators after 2027.
- Orbital Lasers is building a system that will use laser energy to stop the rotation of space junk by vaporising small parts of its surface.
