The Challenge | Orbital Scrap Metal — The Video Game

Nuts, bolts, spent rocket stages, and broken pieces of satellites orbiting Earth are just a few of the many thousands of items known as orbital debris, or space junk. Your challenge is to create an orbital debris collection videogame web-app! You may build upon NASA’s Spacebirds and real data.

Detritus

This is a game where you drive the spaceship Lucky and collect junk to clean the space.

Labbits

We present to you the design of a new space mechanism to remove space debris. Cleaning is done with a spaceship capable of collecting debris into it. Larger debris are first disintegrated into micro pieces or dust. The energy required for this process is provided by solar or nuclear energy. The spacecraft is able to transform the matter generated from the fuel debris to the thrusters. The loose particles will move away from the orbit by the solar wind. And finally we will get a space more clean.
