Astroscale launches satellite that grabs and burns space junk

The video discusses the issue of space debris, highlighting the dangers posed by thousands of small objects orbiting Earth. It introduces the Elsa D satellite, designed to tackle space junk using magnets. The satellite consists of two parts: a chaser and a target, which will be launched together. Once in orbit, they will separate to perform various capture experiments, with increasing complexity. The ultimate goal is for the chaser to capture the target and safely deorbit, burning up in the atmosphere.

What is the name of the test satellite designed to gather space junk?

Describe the two spacecraft involved in the test satellite mission.

What is the primary function of the chaser spacecraft?

Explain the process the chaser will use to capture the target.

What will happen to the target after it is captured by the chaser?
