The quest to remove debris from space
Since the birth of the first watch on the moon, humankind has successfully launched well over 6,400 rockets.
Journeys into space are now commonplace and our surface-level infrastructure is completely dependent on orbiting technology. Today, our satellite superhighway is stuck in a traffic jam. We need to clean up space. ClearSpace is on the case and OMEGA is proud to support the mission.
