A satellite propelled by laser ablation comprises: a device for managing the attitude and the orbit of the satellite; a device for capturing and potentially for processing the target spaceborne body; a device for external communication; a laser ablation propulsion device comprising one or more lasers and a module for managing the one or more lasers that is suitable for determining the one or more laser beams to be generated on the captured target spaceborne body according to the movement desired for the satellite; and a device for visually inspecting the target spaceborne body.
