Col Beausabre: I originally had the word “removal” in the headline, but removed it when I reviewed this mission’s goals. It is removing nothing, only proving its rendezvous and inspection capabilities.

I admit the present language could be improved, but it ain’t worth it to make any changes.

“Space junk removal demo satellite” is what I think you mean.
