Machine to clean up space
Swiss experts are accelerating the process of sending "vacuum cleaners" into orbit, promising to clear up to 370,000 cosmic debris floating in space near Earth within 5 years.
CleanSpace One will be sent into orbit in an effort to eliminate cosmic garbage that is filling the Earth's space, said experts from the Lausanne Institute of Technology in Switzerland (EPFL).

These are pieces of missiles and parts of satellites that are emitted during human use of orbit.
The satellite that cleans the garbage will catch each piece of trash and throw it back into the Earth's atmosphere, where they are burned while passing through the atmosphere.
The situation of orbiting garbage is becoming an increasingly serious problem, threatening human space missions.
Last year, NASA reports said the amount of garbage on the near-Earth space had reached an alarming point.
And the EPFL team of scientists announced the intention to design and launch CleanSpace One , along with the support of the Swiss Space Systems Company (S3), according to Gizmag.
S3 is developing a new method to launch satellites weighing up to 250kg, and will be responsible for bringing CleanSpace One into orbit in 2018.
Expected cost for this project is about 10 million pounds.
