All trash bags are stowed in the lower deck to be returned to Earth for disposal. Solid waste from the toilet is compacted, dried and stored in bags where it is returned to Earth for disposal (burning). Liquid waste from the toilet goes to the wastewater tank where it is dumped ...

would burn up in the earth’s atmosphere after being slowed down and falling out of orbit, while larger pieces might need to be aimed properly to land in the pacific ocean. using ground-based lasers eliminates the need to launch a vehicle into space, which could cost hundreds of millions ...
Then, the ClearSpace-1 will perform a controlled atmospheric reentry with the space trash, and both will burn up on re-entry. Essentially, the vessel will analyse and grab the debris, then sacrifice itself. ClearSpace-1 prepares to re-enter with VESPA, locked in tight.Credit: ClearSpace ...
