- rtkwe 9y agoThe US DoD maintains a very accurate account of objects above about a softball size. As for cleanup there's no one with a working system out there yet, I've seen quite a few different universities with early projects and some other ideas like ground based lasers but nothing is running that I've heard of. http://www.stratcom.mil/Media/Factsheets/Factsheet-View/Article/976414/usstratcom-space-control-and-space-surveillance/ http://www.stratcom.mil/Media/Factsheets/Factsheet-View/Arti...
