ClearSpace

ClearSpace develops in-orbit servicing missions for satellite inspection, life extension and debris removal. The company states that its aim is to make space operations safer, cleaner and more sustainable. Its website compares the situation in orbit to a motorway with no tow truck, and says that when satellites can be serviced, everything changes. ClearSpace builds the servicing layers for the next generation of space operations.

Services

• Inspection: a manoeuvrable spacecraft that gets skin-close to a customer's asset for precise characterisation, ownership attribution and operational protection, with agile in-orbit imaging that gives actionable data for rapid decisions and mission assurance
• Life extension: servicing that extends the operational lifetime of satellites without replacement, including adaptation to real-world conditions where cooperative missions can quickly become non-cooperative, and compatibility beyond standard GEO
• Debris removal: end-to-end debris mitigation from controlled re-entry to targeted removal, which reduces collision threats, safeguards orbital slots and supports compliance with Clean Space policies

Stated benefits

• Lower unplanned operational costs
• Up to 75% propellant savings through optimised capture and removal
• High technical readiness, proven through ESA missions
• Dependable operations built for critical, last-minute use

ClearSpace says that what takes others a decade to mature, it delivers in three years.

Backing

The website credits ESA and its member States leadership for supporting its work.
