Space sails to combat fight future debris
Here’s a team in the UK with a technique for clearing space debris. It’s not meant to clean up existing junk; but when deployed at the end of the orbital life of a new structure this CubeSail will provide drag in the micro-atmosphere of Low Earth Orbit and hasten and control its descent.
But a good idea for a business. They may sell a lot of space sail.
