Astroscale's ADRAS-J: Pioneering Space Debris Removal.

Astroscale's ADRAS-J satellite, launched atop a Rocket Lab Electron, embarks on a mission to inspect and develop techniques for removing space debris. Designed by Japan's Astroscale, the satellite will monitor a discarded rocket body and pave the way for future debris removal missions. Equipped with advanced sensors, including visual, infrared, and LiDAR, ADRAS-J aims to assess the condition of the derelict rocket stage without attempting to latch onto it. This mission marks a significant step in addressing the challenges of space debris and underscores Astroscale's commitment to on-orbit servicing and debris removal.
