Overview

Astroscale develops spacecraft and technologies for on-orbit servicing including life-extension, active debris removal, end-of-life services and in-situ space situational awareness. The company builds and operates satellite servicers and demonstration missions, notably the ELSA-d capture demonstrator, to remove or maintain space assets and mitigate orbital debris. Astroscale works with government agencies, commercial satellite operators and international partners to create sustainable space systems, business cases and norms for the responsible use of space.
