A Japanese spacecraft has made a daring approach to a discarded rocket in Earth 's orbit.
The mission is called Active Debris Removal by Astroscale- Japan , or ADRAS-J.
It intends to eventually remove the 36-foot-long spent rocket stage, but has first tested its ability to rendezvous with the object.
The craft didn't reach the point where a follow-up mission will actually capture the rocket stage.
