Japan's Astroscale can clean up space by removing dead satellites

Japan-based Astroscale has come up with an interesting proposal to clear up space junk and orbital debris populating the low Earth orbit (LEO). Dubbed End of Life Services by Astroscale-Multiple (ELSA-M), the company's spacecraft is designed to capture and deorbit defunct satellites. The proposal is also touted to be efficient as the spacecraft will remove multiple dead satellites on every mission.
