TOKYO, January 27. /Offset. TASS Cyril Agafonov. Japanese unmanned cargo ship “Kounotori-6″ (jap. “AIST-6″) undocked from the International space station, where he arrived on 13 December 2016, and is currently preparing for the experiment to remove space debris from Earth’s orbit. Reported Japanese aerospace exploration Agency (JAXA).
soon the ship will sink to 20 km and released into orbit cylindrical body weighing about 20 kg, which will simulate space debris. After this 700-foot wire, which helped develop the manufacturers of fishing nets from the Japanese Prefecture of Hiroshima, it will be energized. Created electromagnetic field, as planned by the scientists, should slow down the object and bring it into the dense layers of the atmosphere where it will burn.
the Experiment will last about a week, and already on 6 February, “Kounotori-6″ he will enter the dense layers of the atmosphere. If the test is successful, JAXA intends to use such devices for cleaning orbits at altitudes of 800 to 1400 km, where the debris is especially a lot.
According to estimates by UN experts, our world rotates about 300 thousand different unused artificial objects weighing up to 5000 tons. In JAXA calculated among them about 18 thousand objects with a diameter up to 10 cm
