A Japanese firm said Monday it had successfully launched a spacecraft tasked with inspecting potentially dangerous man-made junk floating around the Earth.
The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates that around one million pieces of debris from satellites and rockets larger than a centimetre - big enough to "disable a spacecraft" - are in orbit.
