Space Sweeper aims to tackle the space debris problem, after an in-orbit collision event or explosion. The spacecraft is equipped with an ultra-high power ablation laser, at 532 nanometres. The debris is partially vaporised, resulting in a delta-V to slow the particle down, and burn up in the atmosphere.

The Space Sweeper design is the result of a 10-week design process, starting from scratch, with a team of only 10 students. This project served as their graduation project (Design Synthesis Exercise) for the Aerospace Engineering BSc at TU Delft. The team would like to thank all experts who have collaborated with them; this result would have not been possible without their help.
