Hi all & thanks Bernard,
If you follow up the report in view of the costs and other factors. One
of the options for an ATV future was for a use of recovery of debris and
satellites.
Whilst the cost may be considerably high for such a development, I thought
that it would be very interesting
and a positive step forward for study of failure and ageing factors of on
board equipment etc. (Batteries ??)
Also of course the objective of clearing up and reducing hazards of
possible impact or pollution.
Wonder on your thoughts on viewing this aspect as a effective application
of use of " Space Budgets"
Regards.
