The CLEAR mission will remove two derelict UK objects which have been inactive for more than 10 years. These objects are predicted stay in orbit for a century before they naturally re-enter the atmosphere and are located in a very congested region of LEO, above 700 km altitude, endangering the space environment and the safety of space operations. By removing them, ClearSpace is sending a strong message to the world regarding its commitment to address the space debris issue and lead by example in reducing orbital congestion. This is crucial to protect critical space-based infrastructure that underpins a wide array of human activities, such as transport systems, climate change monitoring, financial transactions and weather forecasting.
