Scientists at Tohoku University have developed a powerful bidirectional plasma thruster inspired by fusion reactor technology, capable of decelerating and removing space junk from low-Earth orbit more efficiently, potentially helping to prevent catastrophic orbital congestion.
Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have developed a revolutionary bidirectional plasma ejection propulsion system that can safely and efficiently remove space debris using affordable argon, potentially preventing the Kessler syndrome and ensuring sustainable space activities.
A new method for removing space debris involves using a bidirectional plasma ejection system from an ion engine to push space junk into Earth's atmosphere for safe burn-up, offering a safer and potentially more effective solution to the growing problem of space debris in low-Earth orbit.
