Space Cleaners

In the next few decades, the space debris problem could make space travel impossible and fundamentally change our lives on Earth. To prevent this catastrophe, scientists from various parts of Germany are working on solutions to control the space debris problem. However, unlike on Earth, it is not yet possible to actively remove debris from space. The film documents the work on space debris and shows the viewer that not only our human actions on Earth, but also our actions in space have far-reaching consequences for us and our environment.
