Orbital operations for a cleaner, more sustainable space ecosystem.
We capture and relocate large debris — defunct satellites, spent rocket bodies — to stable orbits for recovery or safe disposal. Not destruction. Relocation. The debris has value, and we bring it back intact.
Human-piloted precision operations with crew in the loop for complex captures. FCC-compliant: direct retrieval satisfies the 5-year de-orbit rule.
Systematic clearing of orbital debris bands. Smaller fragments (1cm–10cm) that threaten operational satellites, removed in coordinated sweeps driven by our tracking data.
AI-coordinated sweep operations guided by real-time tracking data. Reduces collision risk for operational satellites in critical orbital corridors.
We extend the life of operational satellites through repair, refueling, repositioning, and component replacement. Most tasks handled by crew-piloted drones from inside the mothership. Complex tasks handled by crew EVA.
Layered approach: drone operations handle most tasks, crew EVA for complex cases. Near-100% mission success rate with human-in-the-loop operations.
Recovery of historically significant spacecraft and artifacts from orbit, returned intact to Earth for preservation and study. No other company offers this.
Intact return to Earth. Unique service — no other provider offers heritage recovery.
