ALBATOR wins multi‑million grant to study ion‑beam ‘touchless’ space debris removal
ALBATOR has been awarded a multi‑million‑dollar grant to study an ion‑beam, 'touchless' method for removing orbital debris. The program will evaluate using ion beams to alter debris trajectories and deorbit objects without physical capture, aiming to reduce collision risk in crowded low Earth orbit.
