A lo largo de m\u00e1s de 60 a\u00f1os, esta \u201cbasura espacial\u201d se ha ido acumulando alrededor del planeta y ha estado causando problemas. Las piezas que vagan por el espacio pueden chocar con sat\u00e9lites activos y da\u00f1arlos o destruirlos, lo que genera a\u00fan m\u00e1s basura. Los cient\u00edficos e ingenieros de la ESA han tenido una idea brillante para limpiar toda esa chatarra: una misi\u00f3n llamada e-Deorbit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"720\" data-credit=\"ESA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2016\/08\/This_picture_shows_what_e.Deorbit_may_look_like_closing_in_on_a_disused_satellite\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2016\/08\/this_picture_shows_what_e.deorbit_may_look_like_closing_in_on_a_disused_satellite\/17912333-2-eng-GB\/This_picture_shows_what_e.Deorbit_may_look_like_closing_in_on_a_disused_satellite.png\" alt=\"This picture shows what e.Deorbit may look like, closing in on a disused satellite\"><figcaption>Esta imagen muestra c\u00f3mo podr\u00eda ser e.Deorbit al acercarse a un sat\u00e9lite fuera de servicio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Seg\u00fan los planes, e.Deorbit se pondr\u00e1 en marcha el a\u00f1o 2023.
