🧪 Space Advanced Space Debris Cleanup Simulation

Fly a chaser spacecraft to a tumbling piece of orbital debris using real Clohessy-Wiltshire relative-motion equations. Budget your delta-v, null out closing speed, and capture the target before you run out of propellant.

Address the growing problem of space debris by flying a robotic chaser spacecraft to rendezvous with a tumbling piece of orbital junk. Every burn you fire is a real impulsive delta-v applied through the Clohessy-Wiltshire relative-motion equations — the same linearised orbital-mechanics model mission planners use for actual proximity operations — so radial, along-track and cross-track thrust all couple into curved approach trajectories rather than straight lines. Manage a limited propellant budget, null out your closing speed, and bring the chaser inside the capture sphere before the debris drifts away or your delta-v runs out, safeguarding operational satellites from the collision risk it represents.
