I have read a few posts and threads about mining asteroids.<br /> I have also seen many threads about the dangers posed by orbital debris. <br />I think I saw something on the NASA website about them offering a grant for a design for something that would collect and dispose orbital debris.<br />My Idea is simple, how about we come up with an orbital recycling facility. This would be a great way to Research orbital mining technology and clean up leo and meo.<br /><br />I was thinking that it would be a two part system, The smelting facility, and the collection vehicles. <br />To truly be worthwile I would like the collection vehicles to utilise the electromagnetic tether propulsion sydtem as it does not require reaction mass.<br /><br />Any ideas?<br />
