the only thing i can think this mini-orbitor (the shuttle is everything, including the rockets - yes i am a geek) is to pick up old satalights and bring them down, rather than letting them crash into earth, or worst still slamming into other satalights making a disater.
there is a thery that due to the amount of satalites and junk in space that there is a possibilty that they could damage each other.
space junk is a huge problem. you have small bits of metal flying about as the speed of a bullet.
they showed a satalight they brought down and it was perverated with holes.
makes you wonder how safe it is going up in a rocket in case you fly smack bang into a satalight.
there must be thousands of satalights as these days you have tv, phone weather and spy satalights. and most countries have them.
