Sounds like a business opportunity:

“How much space junk is there?
While there are about 2,000 active satellites orbiting Earth at the moment, there are also 3,000 dead ones littering space. What’s more, there are around 34,000 pieces of space junk bigger than 10 centimetres in size and millions of smaller pieces that could nonetheless prove disastrous if they hit something else.”

There is at least one Hasselbald 2-1/4 X 2-1/4 camera in orbit.

Someone out there will find a use for it- “re-purposed space debris”- I can see it being turned into art; furniture; storage containers, etc.
