Space Junk Gold Rush: Inside the 2025–2032 Race to Clean Up Earth’s Orbit and Cash In on Sustainability

Space Junk Cleanup Breakthrough: Ion Engine Exhaust Could Blast Debris Out of Orbit

Researchers have demonstrated a bidirectional ion thruster that fires plasma beams to push space debris out of orbit without contact. Lab tests showed about 25 milli-Newtons of thrust, close to what’s needed to deorbit a 1-ton object in 100 days. The system uses argon gas but requires high power and doubles fuel use. Most orbital debris is spinning, making non-contact removal safer than nets or harpoons.
