Beyond conjunction prediction, AstroSweep is developing next-generation capabilities to actively address the growing challenge of orbital debris and extend the life of space assets.
The space environment is at a critical juncture. With over 30,000 tracked objects in orbit and millions of smaller debris pieces, the risk of cascading collisions—known as Kessler Syndrome—grows every year. AstroSweep believes that awareness alone is not enough; we must take action.
Building on our expertise in orbital mechanics and space domain awareness, we are developing capabilities that will transform how humanity manages and sustains the orbital environment.
Active debris removal (ADR) solutions to capture and deorbit defunct satellites and large debris objects that pose the greatest collision risk.
Life extension services for operational satellites, including inspection, repair, refueling, and component replacement to maximize asset value.
Our future capabilities leverage the same precision orbital mechanics and space domain awareness that power our conjunction prediction platform. Every ADR and servicing mission requires the exact skills we've refined over years of operational experience: accurate orbit determination, precise maneuver planning, and real-time situational awareness.
Release of advanced guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for autonomous rendezvous and proximity operations.
On-orbit demonstration of close-approach inspection and debris characterization for ADR mission planning.
First demonstration of debris capture mechanism with cooperative target in low Earth orbit.
Commencement of commercial active debris removal services for government and commercial customers.
Space is a shared resource essential to modern life—from GPS navigation to weather forecasting to global communications. Without active intervention, the orbital environment will become increasingly hazardous, threatening the satellites we all depend on.
AstroSweep is committed to being part of the solution. By combining our space domain awareness expertise with emerging remediation technologies, we aim to help ensure that space remains safe, accessible, and sustainable for generations to come.
