该机构计划到2025年发射世界上第一个轨道垃圾收集器,这个4条手臂的机器人就像迷宫里的吃豆子的人一样追踪太空垃圾。
The first-of-its-kind mission, known as ClearSpace-1, will start out small, collecting only a single piece of space junk to prove the concept works. The target in this case is called Vespa, a leftover remnant from ESA's Vega rocket launch in 2013.
第一次这样的任务被称为ClearSpace-1(清理太空-1),先执行小任务,只收集单件的太空垃圾来证明这一概念的可行性。这一任务的目标是Vespa,是欧洲航天局2013年发射织女星火箭留下的残骸。
This piece of junk weighs roughly the same as a small satellite and has a simple shape that should make it easy to grab with four robotic arms. Once it's safely in the arms of the garbage collector, it will then be dragged out of orbit and allowed to burn up in the atmosphere.
这件垃圾的重量几乎相当于一颗小型卫星,形状简单,机器人的四只手臂应该能很容易地抓取。一旦被垃圾收集器安全抓取,就会被拖出轨道,在大气层中烧毁。
