These Australian innovators are removing debris from space

Watch how Paladin Space is developing a solution to clean up artificial debris in space.

It is estimated that there is at least 9000 t of debris currently in orbit. This debris ranges from defunct satellites to spaceship fragments to paint chips left over from previous space missions. 

The speeds at which these objects travel is equivalent to about 10 times the speed of a bullet. That’s strong enough to damage the infrastructure of the International Space Station, as recorded in 2021.

Enter Paladin Space, an Adelaide company tackling the challenge by developing the first reusable space debris remover — with the goal of making space both cleaner and safer for future space missions.

In a new video, Paladin Space founder Harrison Box, who has a background in aeronautical and systems engineering, explains the dangers of space debris — and how their innovative solution aims to combat this threat.

Eager for more video from create digital? Watch how another Australian company is developing robotic grippers that can adjust their strength based on real-time feedback.
