Japan's version of NASA, JAXA, try one of the first major tests to see if it would be
possible to clean up some of this Space Junk. This is a failure.
The vehicle was a cargo ship that moment came the international space station. Back on the road to Earth, without the
ship's crew was to deploy the cables along the 700-meter (it's almost half a mile) of aluminum and steel. New Scientist, said:
"The cable was meant to unfurl from the spacecraft, at which point an electric current would pass along its length. The idea was that the current would interact with the Earth's magnetic field, creating a drag that pulled the spacecraft out of orbit. The spacecraft would then tumble into our atmosphere and become incinerated. Proponents of such junk-removing cables say that special space vehicles could attach cables to existing pieces of space junk."
Unfortunately, it does not for the moment. Because of a glitch Kounotori 6 spacecraft could not deploy his publicist at the time no matter where it is up to the Earth's atmosphere today. JAXA Engineers said the problem may not be with the wiring itself, but they are still investigating.
The failure may be embarrassing for Japan's decline, but it is very important that the space agencies in the world pressing
the search mission and real to remove some debris of our spaces. Scientists have proposed and claw and laser nets and many
other methods to scan the Earth's orbit; hoping that one of them works.
