Welcome to an exciting new journey of space exploration and innovation! In this video, we delve into the latest developments from Astroscale Japan Incorporated, a Tokyo-based venture leading the charge in space debris removal. With their new satellite, Active Debris Removal Analytic Satellite - Japan (ADRAS-J), they're aiming to pioneer an audacious attempt at approaching and eliminating space debris. It's an unprecedented, global first that's set to change the space landscape!

Launching within fiscal 2023, ADRAS-J is uniquely designed to handle the remnants of satellites and rockets once they've concluded their operational lives. Weighing in at a robust 150 kilograms and measuring 80 centimeters in width and length and 1.2 meters in height, this satellite is all set to be launched from New Zealand. 

The mission of ADRAS-J is truly groundbreaking. It will venture within several meters of the upper section of the H-Two-A Launch Vehicle Number Fifteen, a large rocket launched in 2009 by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Outfitted with multiple high-performance cameras and laser rangefinders, it's been engineered to accurately determine the position and movement of target debris for a safe approach.

But Astroscale Japan Incorporated isn't stopping there. They're planning to develop technology that can capture space debris using a robotic arm and guide it into the Earth's atmosphere to burn up. 

The growing volume of space debris is a threat not just to the International Space Station and artificial satellites, but also to our Earth. It's a problem that urgently needs addressing, and until now, no practical technology for its removal has been developed. With ADRAS-J, Astroscale Japan Incorporated is stepping up to meet this challenge head on. 

Stay tuned to this video for a deep dive into this groundbreaking satellite, its mission, and the future of space debris removal. Let's explore the final frontier and the innovative solutions being developed to keep it clean and safe for future generations!
