But some of these vehicles have failed in their mission. After that, they have disintegrated and their fragmented debris have remained trapped in Earth orbit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Space Debris\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f513HPs24VM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the decades, the number of debris has increased. This enabled collisions between them thus creating more debris (obsolete satellites, rocket stages, solar panels, nuts, etc.). On top of being dangerous for active satellites, those debris are also a threat to the current and future state of space. In order to draw the public\u2019s attention, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ESA Space Debris Office (European Space Agency)<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;is continuously observing this unstable phenomenon in perpetual motion. However, some solutions do exist to \u201cclean it up\u201d. Just like the company Clearspace that is going on a \u201cclean-up\u201d mission with Omega\u2019s partnership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"omega-and-its-space-odyssey\"><strong>Omega and its space odyssey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we know, in 1965, Omega competed with four other watchmakers selected by NASA. Their goal was to develop an accurate, reliable and resistant chronograph for astronauts. And it was the Speedmaster that successfully passed all the tests. After becoming the American agency\u2019s official watch for manned space missions and extra-vehicular activities, it made history in 1969 after being worn by Buzz Aldrin during Apollo 11 mission, when man walked on the moon for the first time (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/?s=speedmaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read our many articles on the history of the Speedmaster<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"12049\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/omega2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12049\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"12050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/omega3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12050\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/omega4.jpg\" alt=\"Impressions artistiques de la mission Clearspace-1 : capture d'un objet inutilis\u00e9 errant dans l'espace -\" class=\"wp-image-10000019268\" width=\"600\" height=\"426\" \/><figcaption><strong>Artistic impressions of the Clearspace-1 mission: removing an unused object in Earth orbit &#8211; \u00a9Clearspace.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-partnership-between-omega-and-clearspace-for-a-pioneering-space-mission\"><strong>A partnership between Omega and Clearspace for a pioneering space mission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Omega is starting on a new path in its space conquest by partnering with Clearspace. The robotic start-up develops cutting-edge technologies in order to rid space of dangerous debris in Earth orbit. In 2020, it signed a service contract with ESA worth \u20ac 86 million for the first space debris removal mission. Which is scheduled for 2025. As space\u2019s &#8220;garbage collector&#8221;, Omega is certainly playing a part in one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century.
