How can we solve the space debris problem? What will we learn from LOFAR? This edition of Naked Astronomy comes from the RAL Space Conference at the STFC’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratories. We’ll explore the crossover between space science and medicine, catch up with Curiosity and find out how a new satellite helps to test the latest tech.

How big would a recovery satellite have to be?
Is it possible to make a super-efficient automated engine, say 100 kilos, or less that could attach onto a small piece of debris and destabilize the orbit? Thus, one launch could send out multiple recovery modules, or perhaps it could be part of a different package.
Perhaps re-purpose booster modules to pick up a chunk of debris before returning to Earth.
