   Satellites that just won’t die are a problem too, can MEVs go out there and put them out of their misery too?

   Soon space gipsies will be scouting around graveyard orbits looking for scrap and dead sats they can bring back to life for cash money. And rightly so, bless ’em.

   They don’t last forever. So do they all become ‘space junk’?

   Satellite servicing is going to be a huge industry one day – keep in mind there were no garages when the first round of cars were being built and driven.

   It’s a big step forward for satellite servicing.

   Not sure how many dead satellites we want to bring back to life but this brings hope to a few of them. A really interesting avenue of progress considering all the space junk we have hidden ourselves behind.
