Founded in 2013, Astroscale is the global leader in on-orbit servicing, dedicated to the safe and sustainable development of space. The company delivers a variety of innovative and scalable on-orbit servicing solutions, including life extension, in-situ space situational awareness, end-of-life, and active debris removal. These solutions empower satellite operators to reduce risks, increase returns, and achieve mission success while fostering a sustainable space environment. Astroscale is also defining the economics of on-orbit servicing and collaborating with government and commercial stakeholders to develop norms, regulations, and incentives that promote the sustainable growth of space. Since its first successful launch in March 2021, Astroscale has proven rendezvous and proximity operations technologies in orbit during the ELSA-d and ADRAS-J missions, establishing the company as a leader in on-orbit servicing. Astroscale spacecraft have been selected for pioneering missions with JAXA, the U.S. Space Force, the European Space Agency, the UK Space Agency, and Eutelsat OneWeb. As more satellite operators adopt on-orbit servicing to routinely inspect, relocate, remove, and extend the life of spacecraft, the potential of a circular space economy — and a future of no waste in space — is being unlocked. Headquartered in Japan, Astroscale has a global presence with subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Israel.

“The key action is to change the rules. There’s no real obligation for compliance, that does necessitate some regulation, but it has to strike the right balance where we see incentives to behave in the right way rather than penalties.” 📜 Read more on what Andrew Faiola had to say during the Space Debris Mitigation panel at Space Tech Expo Europe. https://lnkd.in/gppB_FWk

“We have to take responsibility for what we're doing in orbit, and part of that is to use it to its advantage but then treat it responsibly afterwards and dispose of [our] stuff,” says Astroscale U.S. Executive Vice President Dr. Clare Martin. In a recent Scientific American article by Sarah Scoles, Clare highlights space operators’ shared responsibility to preserve access to space as more satellites are launched and more orbital debris will need to be removed. “It’s very important to make sure that we keep the resource of space available for future generations.” See more of what Clare and other industry experts had to say on the topic in the full piece: https://lnkd.in/gDPBAqhE #SpaceSustainability #OnOrbitServicing
Everyone loves the reassurance of the words “fully qualified”. We’re happy to tell you that our Docking Plate is just that. 🤗 Astroscale’s Docking Plate is designed for simple installation on satellites before launch so that when the time comes, we can safely capture and remove the satellites from orbit so they won’t become #spacedebris. Our Docking Plate has undergone several tests including radiation, UV, vibration, and shock, and has passed all the tests we can do on Earth. 🌍 Our heritage model was successfully demonstrated in-orbit during our #ELSAd mission. Since then we’ve established a repeatable and reliable manufacturing solution for larger scale production. It may be a small piece of technology, but the Astroscale Docking Plate has a mighty role to play helping make space sustainable for future generations. If you’d like to find out more and download the technical data sheet, please visit https://lnkd.in/gybJ7Eu7 We’ll also have a marketing model at our stand E14 Space Tech Expo Europe if you’re there!
