00:00Three must-haves for space cleanup.

00:03Earth's lower orbits are polluted with 9,300 tons of space junk,

00:06traveling at the speed of over 25,000 kilometers an hour.

00:09But don't worry, we've got three creative solutions for you.

00:12The LaserBroom 3000.

00:13Its precise, pulsed laser technology ridges you of small satellite debris ranging from 1 to 10 centimeters.

00:19Just point the broom's beam at it to vaporize parts of the junk.

00:21This gives it a directional thrust, lowering its orbit until it burns up in the atmosphere.

00:25Need more force for bigger chunks? Try the Space Harpoon.

00:28Once in range, this little cleanup wizard launches a tethered harpoon at cosmic trash to reel it in.

00:32A sail is then attached to increase drag and pull the satellite into the atmosphere, free of charge.

00:37Now for the persistent small specks of dirt.

00:39The sponge.

00:40Foam released from the included deorbiter platform absorbs smaller debris and drags it back to Earth.

00:45Just like running a sponge through dirt.

00:47Easy as that.

00:48The use of all the above products is limited to outer space only.

00:51Any use for household cleanup duty is strongly discouraged.
