The invention is practical for removing space debris, and provides a space debris cleaner. The space debris cleaner is provided with a storage box, an electromagnet and a command control system inside, is provided with a debris inlet way, and is provided with a photovoltaic panel on the surface; and flying space debris enters the storage box from the debris inlet way under the effect of the electromagnet. Used power supply is provided by the photovoltaic panel; and the space debris cleaner is commanded and controlled by the command control system to drop into an atmospheric layer for burning after being filled with the debris as shown in figure. The space debris cleaner has the beneficial effects of removing the space debris and bringing the safety to spaceflight.
