ClearSpace-1 capturing space debris

ClearSpace-1 capturing Vespa in Space.

The ClearSpace chaser is designed to use robotic arms to capture space debris. The plan for 2025 is that it will undertake its first active debris removal mission. ClearSpace-1 will rendezvous, capture and take down for re-entry the upper part of a Vespa (Vega Secondary Payload Adapter) from Europe's Vega launcher.
