A team of companies and universities from the UK, Spain, Estonia and Sweden is exploring
whether old satellites could be taken apart and reused directly in space.
Their work, known as DEXTER, was launched in 2025 and is led by Leonard Felicetti,

“We are cluttering space with new objects,” said Felicetti.
“What we want to do is to try and reuse the material that is already there"

For decades, we have been littering space with decommissioned satellites and rocket parts orbiting our planet. Now this space debris poses a growing threat to the satellites and spacecraft we rely on. But researchers believe some of this debris could be turned into a valuable resource.
