The first-ever space mission to remove man-made debris from Earth’s orbit will be launched in 2025. Swiss startup Clearspace will lead the mission to clean up more than 3,000 defunct satellites in the space. The firm will submit final proposals in March with the initial contract aimed at establishing a new market for debris removal. Clearspace was founded by researchers at the Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne.
