Astroscale Holdings Inc. ("Astroscale"), the market leader in satellite servicing and long-term orbital sustainability across all orbits, confirmed the successful launch of its End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration (ELSA-d) mission.
Astroscale Holdings公司在卫星服务和所有轨道的长期轨道可持续性方面处于市场领先地位，证实其“天体尺度示范”(ELSA-d)任务的终末期服务已成功发射。
This marks the start of the world's first commercial mission to prove the core technologies necessary for space debris docking and removal. ELSA-d, which consists of two satellites stacked together — a servicer designed to safely remove debris from orbit and a client satellite that serves as a piece of replica debris — was launched by GK Launch Services into a 550 km orbit on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
这标志着世界上第一个证明空间碎片对接和清除所需核心技术的商业任务的开始。 ELSA-d,包含两个卫星堆叠在一起,一个服务机构为了安全地清除轨道上的碎片和一个客户端卫星作为一块复制碎片——发起GK发射服务到550公里轨道在联盟号火箭从哈萨克斯坦的拜科努尔发射场发射。
没有看到更细节的说明，
如何清除的呢？
无论如何，
这都是一个好的开始，
毕竟垃圾多了都闹心，
不管是在房间角落里，
还是太空轨道上。
