The invention is practical for removing space debris, and provides a space debris cleaner. The space debris cleaner is an opened hollow metal sphere; a solar photovoltaic panel is arranged outside the sphere for providing electricity to equipment in the sphere; a tracking system and a command control system are arranged in the sphere; the tracking system discovers and distinguishes the debris, and transfers signals to the command control system; the command control system gives an instruction to enable the sphere to absorb and fix the debris in the sphere; and the sphere filled with the debris is commanded and controlled by the command control system to drop into an atmospheric layer for burning. The space debris cleaner has the beneficial effect of preferably removing the space debris.
