About
Astroscale designs and operates spacecraft for on-orbit servicing missions spanning debris inspection, debris removal, satellite life extension, and on-orbit refueling. The company specializes in rendezvous and proximity operations with both cooperative and non-cooperative objects. Core platforms include ADRAS-J for close-proximity inspection of large debris, ELSA-M for multi-target deorbiting in LEO, LEXI for geostationary satellite life extension, COSMIC for robotic-arm removal of defunct satellites, and Provisioner for on-orbit refueling of U.S. Space Force assets.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Astroscale operates subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, United States, Israel, and France. The company completed the first commercial close-proximity inspection of a defunct upper-stage rocket body with ADRAS-J in 2024. Astroscale is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market under the ticker 186A.
