Engineers at Kall Morris have developed the REACCH orbital spacecraft for active removal of space debris

The secret of its effectiveness lies in eight manipulators that unfold like tentacles. They are coated with an adhesive that mimics the structure of a gecko's feet: millions of microscopic wedges provide maximum contact area with any surface, whatever its material and shape.

There are tonnes of man-made junk in near-Earth orbit, travelling at up to 28,000 km/h. Every impact produces hundreds of new fragments, creating a domino effect. ––––––––– ✔️ Subscribe to the best channel, PRO Robots
