Space debris refers to man-made objects generated through human space activities that are no longer in use or have lost their functionality, drifting aimlessly through space. With the recent growth of private space companies, the number of space launches has surged, accelerating the accumulation of space debris at an unprecedented rate. According to NASA, over 100 million pieces of debris currently orbit Earth—far exceeding the number of operational satellites. These fragments pose a significant threat, as collisions with space debris can damage equipment or even endanger human lives. For this reason, the effective removal of space debris has become an essential challenge for the future of space exploration and development. However, existing removal methods share common drawbacks: lack of precision, high costs, and single-use systems. The new removal system, "MeshMag," addresses the environmental and economic limitations of current technologies by combining their strengths. It offers a more efficient and sustainable solution for collecting space debris.
