Junk.

This is coolbert:

"We prefer not to talk about it."

Inspectors. Scavengers. Killers. Threats.

"Space junk or sabotage? Space clean-up drones could have military implications"

"A recently declassified Chinese report reveals it is building tiny robotic satellites. And they can either save — or destroy — the space race."

"China calls them scavengers, Russia calls them inspectors and the US calls them threats."

APPARENTLY THESE ARE SMALL SATELLITES [MICRO-SATELLITES?] WITH SOME SORT OF ROBOTIC FEATURE FOR GATHERING SPACE DEBRIS.

"And strange things are already happening in orbit."

Reconnaissance satellites. GPS. Communications. Etc. All at risk.

Read the whole article. There is a lot of "junk" in outer space. These satellites do have a dual-purpose on-call as they say?
