KHI: Entering space debris collection and satellite business –  test in 2020

KHI will enter the ultra-small satellite business for capturing space debris (space debris).

We developed a mass 60 kilogram class satellite and demonstrated the debris removal technology on orbit in 2020.

It is said that there are over 20,000 pieces of cosmic waste (more than a certain size, which can be traced in outer space).
