About this service
Astroscale provides on-orbit servicing solutions powered by Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking (RPOD) capabilities. These services are foundational for extending mission life, enhancing resilience of spacecraft, and removing orbital debris. RPOD enables a spacecraft to safely approach, inspect, interact with, and service or remove another satellite in space, covering missions like refueling, life extension, or end-of-life removal. The company has proven RPOD capabilities in orbit, addressing the technical challenges of operating near non-communicative or tumbling clients with no margin for error.
