ADMO (Active Debris Removal Mission)

ADMO, or Active Debris Removal Mission, is a space effort to identify and safely eliminate large pieces of space debris, such as defunct satellites and spent rocket stages. These objects pose collision risks to operational satellites and spacecraft. Using specialized spacecraft equipped with robotic arms or capture devices, ADMO aims to track, approach, and securely remove debris from orbit. This helps maintain a safer, sustainable space environment by reducing the amount of clutter that can cause damaging collisions, ultimately supporting the long-term viability of space activities.
