The present invention relates to a space debris collecting and evacuating spacecraft and an associated method of removing floating space debris. The spacecraft includes a space debris capturing mechanism and a debris container for collecting the captured space debris. An evacuation system re-orbits the stored space debris or sends same towards the sun to remove the floating space debris from near earth orbits. The spacecraft is propelled by integrated solar panel arrays and the space debris capturing can be activated/actuated automatically upon detecting the debris or can be done manually by a control center positioned on earth which is communicatively coupled to the spacecraft. The evacuation system has an associated pipe for evacuating the stored debris.
