An experimental project has been launched by UK scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) to tackle the growing problem of space junk.Hundreds of thousands of man-made objects orbit the Earth, but fewer than 5,000 are operational satellites. The most congested area sits within 2,000km of the Earth’s surface, known as low Earth orbit (LEO), where collisions can cause further debris.

Cast your minds back to 1997, what were you doing? Daniel Ammann, Jean‑Pierre Wyss and Andreas Thiel were inventing the world’s smallest GPS module as part of their post‑graduate research at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH).The idea was a simple as it was ingenious and, within a matter of months, they teamed up with their professor and a well‑wishing mentor and investor to found u‑blox.
