Mini Satellites Used as 'Space Cops' to Clear Debris

Space debris can damage functional satellites, which is why a team of scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are trying to control the traffic in space using mini satellites. Researchers used a series of six images from ground based satellite taken over a period of 60 hours to show that it is possible to refine the orbit of another satellite in low Earth orbit. More
