Human-made debris from inactive satellites and obsolete space missions pose ongoing threats to active communication and navigation satellites -- and the humans on Earth who depend upon them. In a new article describes simulations showing a new way to use laser-induced energy in the weightlessness of space to nudge debris into the atmosphere where it will be destroyed.
