As the result, space debris is becoming more and more of a concern. A new study suggests using practically real-life Star Trek tech to use an electron tractor beam to tug broken satellites around the orbit.</p><ul><li><p>00:00 Intro </p></li><li><p>01:11 The state of space debris </p></li><li><p>04:25 Satellite tractor beam </p></li><li><p>14:07 Alternative applications </p></li><li><p>24:29 Tracking objects via plasma trails </p></li><li><p>39:23 Current obsessions </p></li><li><p>44:29 Final thoughts</p></li></ul><p></p></html>
