From the Ted Talk by Natalie Panek: Let's clean up the space junk orbiting Earth
Unscramble the Blue Letters
And then one really cool possibility is the idea of orbital tow trucks or space mechanics. Imagine if a robotic arm on some sort of space tow truck could fix the borekn components on a satellite, making them ublsae again. Or what if that very same robotic arm could refuel the propellant tank on a spacecraft that relies on chemical propulsion just like you or I would refuel the fuel takns on our cars? robtoic repair and maintenance could etenxd the lives of hernduds of satellites orbiting around the Earth.
