Space Debris Lunar Landing Zone – Space Debris Graveyard Registered.
July 2022: Space Debris needs innovative solutions, and ultimately destinations for potentially dangerous debris. Thanks to the initiative of three emerging space companies, a forward-thinking approach is the designation of an area on the Moon’s near-side as a Space Debris Lunar Landing Zone, for planned de-orbiting and potential recycling of spacecraft; satellites, probes, boosters. It is also alternatively named a Space Debris Graveyard.
