 ESA Kids' mascot Paxi attending a meeting of ESA's Clean Space initiative on 3 December. Clean Space is devoted to making the space sector more environmentally friendly – both on Earth and in space. Clean Space engineers are studying ways of removing space debris from busy orbits: a net like the one demonstrated here is on a list of methods that also includes clamps, robotic arms, harpoons or even ion beams.
