A Bi-Directional Plasma Thruster Could Deorbit Space Junk Safely
The Growing Threat of Space Junk Space junk, or orbital debris, has become a significant concern for satellites, space missions, and the future of space exploration. The phenomenon known as Kessler Syndrome describes a scenario where the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) is so high that collisions between debris and operational satellites…

Bi-Directional Plasma Thruster: A Solution to Space Junk
Understanding the Space Junk Problem As humanity’s presence in space grows, so does the issue of space debris, particularly in low Earth orbit (LEO). This increasing congestion poses a significant risk to satellites, space stations, and even crewed missions. Kessler Syndrome, a scenario where the density of objects in LEO is so high that collisions…
