Is there a group/organization responsible for space debris cleanup?
- bagels 11y agoThere's no money in that, so probably not.
- ablation 11y agoI'm sure there's money in recycling/reusing the rare and expensive metals and components of now-defunct satellites, but I think it would probably encounter a) resistance from the owners of those satellites if it's not just an altruistic cleanup job sanctioned by governments, and b) related to what you say, the cost of actually performing the task would undoubtedly outweigh any money recouped.
