ESA presents… Clean Space
Clean Space is the European Space Agency’s initiative to safeguard the terrestrial and orbital environments, while boosting the innovation and competitiveness of Europe’s space sector. This animated guide follows a newly-launched satellite as it first enters orbit, in the process explaining the various branches of the Clean Space effort and the different future Clean Space aims to build.
Now with English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Greek, Romanian and Swedish subtitles. More languages will be added as they become available.
Hey ESA. wanna fight Space Debris? How about stop producing it? How about stop funding development of the hopelessly redundant Ariane 6 and start funding some truly fully reusable launch vehicles?
You know, like SKYLON. Fully reusable and powered by Liquid Hydrogen.
(those 7m Euros you invested already ain't gonna cut it!)
I love this video, and this concept! 😀
This is very important!
Nice idea, u should applauded for it, as long as you develop it fully, and don't just let it rot as a PR program.
Just zap the space junk with a laser from earth. If you can slow it down this way it will deorbit sooner.
If you like japanimation I recommend the anime PlanetES that talks about this issue in the near future.
Crap video, no people of colour in it. What is this, the 19th century?
Also called: Kessler Syndrome
There's an amazing manga called Planetes, in which the protagonist works as a "space janitor" cleaning up derelict satellites and other geosynchronous objects.
fire them off into emptier areas of space? Can you fucking not. So stupid to clutter up different areas of space get rid of the issue as a whole instead of putting a bandaid on it
