Space Debris Insights from Astroscale and Amazon’s Carbon Emission Trajectory
Images captured from just 50 meters away have allowed Astroscale Japan to present a close-up picture of space junk. Images of a Japanese H-2A rocket’s upper stage that is now orbiting the Earth are shown here. During the ADRAS-J satellite’s initial fly-around of the debris, Astroscale made following observations. Launched on February 18, ADRAS-J aims to gather data for future…
