The UGC gave Dr. Vex the green light to experiment with a team of crows in space. The chosen bird was a sleek black crow named Orion, who had been trained by Dr. Vex herself. Orion was fitted with a specially designed spacesuit, complete with a built-in tool kit and communication device.
Orion's first mission was to rendezvous with a small, derelict satellite in low Earth orbit. The satellite, codenamed "Echo-1," was a hazard to navigation and needed to be deorbited. Orion's job was to attach a deorbiting module to Echo-1's hull, which would drag the satellite out of orbit and into the atmosphere, where it would safely burn up.
The UGC dubbed the program "Crowjob" in honor of Orion's groundbreaking mission. As the reputation of these avian space workers spread, other space agencies and private companies began to take notice. Who knew that crows, of all creatures, would become the unsung heroes of space exploration?
The deorbiting process began, and Echo-1 slowly began its descent into the atmosphere. The UGC team monitored the satellite's trajectory, cheering as it disintegrated harmlessly over the Pacific Ocean.
The UGC mission control team held their collective breath as Orion flew back to his spacecraft, the Corvus-1 . With a triumphant caw, he settled into his perch, tool kit stowed, and awaited further instructions.
Orion had done it! The crow's success marked the beginning of a new era in space debris removal. Over the next few years, a team of trained crows, each with their own Corvus spacecraft, cleared hundreds of derelict satellites and pieces of space junk from Earth's orbit.
