RemoveDEBRIS’s Harpoon captures space debris

RemoveDEBRIS’s Harpoon Experiment successfully captured space debris. The 10x10 cm target was deployed from the RemoveDEBRIS satellite at a 1.5 metre distance. The harpoon was fired at 20 metres/sec to penetrate the target and demonstrate the ability of a harpoon to capture debris. Credit: Airbus/Surrey Space Centre #RemoveDEBRIS #SpaceDebris
