Reg readers land on 'Binface' as name for UK space cleanup mission
Intergalactic Space Warrior, or a bin in orbit?
The UK Space Agency reached out to the public for a name for its Active Debris Removal Mission. Readers of The Register, however, didn't hold back in their suggestions. Despite the agency's initial skepticism about the public's ability to come up with a catchy name, the public's creative minds came up with a plethora of options.
The mission, aimed at removing two UK-registered satellites from Low Earth Orbit to showcase Britain's orbital cleanup skills, needed a name. The team decided on a more appealing name after much deliberation. The name, "Binface," which earlier emerged as a frontrunner, will now lead the space cleanup mission.
