The orbital debris crisis

The near-Earth orbital environment is increasingly congested with defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and fragmentation debris. This "space junk" travels at hypervelocity (over 17,000 mph in Low Earth Orbit), where even a small object can cause catastrophic damage to an operational satellite.

The European Space Agency estimates the existing population of potentially lethal space debris in LEO at over 1.1 Million objects. By 2030, the number of active satellites is projected to exceed 100,000, dramatically increasing collision risks.

This escalating density poses a direct threat to critical infrastructure like communication networks and GPS services. The "Kessler Syndrome", a theoretical scenario where debris density leads to a cascade of collisions, is no longer a distant possibility but an impending risk, threatening to render key orbital bands unusable.

our solutions: Pioneering ISAM capabitlies

Advanced RPO and Sensing

We develop sensor fusion algorithms (electro-optical, infrared, LIDAR) to build high-fidelity, real-time 3D models of tumbling, uncooperative debris. Our autonomous GNC ensures fuel-efficient, safe approaches.

Novel Capture Mechanisms

Our patent-pending, reusable Capture and Arrest Mechanism (CAM) securely engages a wide variety of debris shapes and sizes, moving beyond single-use or high-risk methods.

Optimized Mission Planning

Leveraging deep expertise in orbital mechanics, we design missions optimized for delta-v, allowing a single ADR vehicle to address multiple debris targets efficiently.

Assisted de-orbit or transfer to in-space recycling centers.

Protecting your orbital assets, reducing your costs

Space Cowboy ADR fundamentally shifts the paradigm from reactive risk mitigation to proactive risk elimination. While In-Space Space Situational Awareness (IS3A) provides critical data, only Active Debris Remediation physically removes the danger.

  • Asset Protection: Direct safeguarding of high-value, revenue-generating satellites from mission-ending collisions.
  • Operational Cost Reduction: Significantly reduces the frequency of costly Collision Avoidance Maneuvers (CAMs), saving on propellant, operational downtime, and human resources.
  • Increased Mission Lifespan: Less fuel spent on avoidance means longer operational lives for valuable satellite assets.
  • Improved Orbital Sustainability: Actively reverses debris proliferation, ensuring key orbits remain safe and economically viable, potentially lowering insurance premiums.
