"A Swiss satellite tackles space debris"

Full story here, from News Mediacom.

Basically they are looking at grappling with debris and deorbiting it so it burns up on reentry.

I could see this maybe working for a few larger object, don't think it will be very practical for the cast majority of space debris in Earth Orbit.

IMVHO this concept would make more sense for an anti Satellite weapon.

"Now, NASA's Vector Electric Field Instrument (VEFI) aboard the U.S. Air Force's Communications/Navigation Outage Forecast System (C/NOFS) satellite has detected Schumann resonance from space. This comes as a surprise, since current models of Schumann resonance predict these waves should be caged at lower altitude, between the ground and a layer of Earth's atmosphere called the ionosphere."

Something I have believed for long time personally.

Cassini Solstice Mission

This is simply cool, http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/ I could spend hours playing on that site.

Note you can look through the raw images, you might even find something before anyone else does.

Earth's Trojan Asteroid, the first one found!

Cool video from NASA of the orbit.  For more information go to Space.com
