Cleanspace one is a technology developed by the Swiss space center at EPFL, the idea about the technology is to create a set of satellites that will remove space debris. Space debris is junk, garbage, trash suspended in the space and they are from dead and broken satellites. When those particles hit a spacecraft, they have the tendency to destroy it.
There are thousands of abandoned dead satellites, millions of debris particles around earth's orbit. The cleanspace one is specially designed to remove all these particles. This is how it works, the satellite is designed to spot space debris and grab onto the space junk using it's jellyfish-like tentacles and takes the the collected space debris back into the earth and upon reentering the earth, the satellite and the collected space junk will be burned. When this is launched, it is going to reduce the large number of suspended particles in the space.
