The beginning of April was marked by the orbit launch of the robber scavenger RemoveDERBIS, which was developed by scientists from the University of Surrey in England. On April 4, the Falcon-9 booster with a robot on board docked with the international station. This was an experimental launch, but in the future, scientists hope to improve the ways of collecting and recycling space debris. Now the first ways of capturing garbage are tested. The robot exposes the network for catching inappropriate objects in space; shoots a harpoon to move debris into the dense layers of the atmosphere; sets the sail on the drifting wreckage - as a result, the speed of movement of the wreckage decreases, it descends from orbit and burns in the atmosphere.
