a clean orbit

     prevent further accumulation of space junk

  by equipping new satellites

with Re-entry Capability


Old space junk includes intact and not-intact defunct satellites

- unknown number of pieces of different sizes

- even very small debris poses extraordinary risk to spacecraft


Re-entry capability for wide-spread expired satellites' splashdowns in the ocean requires

the streamlining of existing monitoring and reentry technology

- could be open sourced if the application were developed in view of our common future in space


An integrated package:

- monitoring/tracking coordinates of position in orbit

- guidance software

- micro rockets or small propulsion system 



We will be a space faring civilization.
