I have a picture in my head of a fleet of Katamari Damacy inspired satellites gobbling up space debris using magnetic 'glue' and ejecting wads of collected mass back to earth as part of moving to new paths that will intersect debris fields. Occasionally a space vehicle grabs hold of the growing debris ball and moves it to another orbit that needs to be vacuumed.

Is any of a satellite magnetic? Mostly aluminum etc.
