Astroscale’s Post

“Now it’s possible to do more than just stare at the impossible problem of space sustainability.” – Robert Bell Check out Bell’s thoughts on increasing demand signals for debris removal services in low Earth orbit. https://lnkd.in/dg96Cppr #SpaceSustainability

Ever wondered what it’s like to work at Astroscale U.S.? Get an inside look as our team members share what they love most about our vibrant company culture in part one of this summer’s employee spotlight series.

We were excited to have shared early findings from our ADRAS-J mission during Nobu Okada's keynote at the 6th Summit for Space Sustainability! The observation operations have given us valuable insights into the movement and structural condition of space debris, paving the way for successful rendezvous and proximity operations and future debris removal! #SWFSummit24

We were absolutely chuffed to welcome the UK delegation to our headquarters in Tokyo! From a tour of the Orbitarium to the latest on our ADRAS-J mission, we had engaging conversations about the UK's Active Debris Removal programme and its role in establishing the UK as a leader in space sustainability. Thanks for stopping by and we’ll see you back in Harwell! UK Space Agency | Harwell Science and Innovation Campus | Department for Science, Innovation and Technology

🌞 It's hot in Tokyo, but we're turning up the heat on space sustainability! At #SPACETIDE2024, we shared the latest insights from our ADRAS-J mission and how it's a game-changer for rendezvous and proximity operations. We also reinforced how commercial and government collaboration can pave the way for a sustainable future in space. A special shoutout to the BCCJ - The British Chamber of Commerce in Japan for organizing a fantastic event to discuss how the UK and Japan are emerging as key partners in this exciting era of space activity. Next up, #SWFSummit2024! See you there.

ADRAS-J UPDATE: We started our most challenging operation yet—fly-around observation—and nearly completed a full loop! While we didn’t make it all the way, we captured this incredible shot of the space debris above Earth and confirmed the effectiveness of our collision avoidance system. Ready to try again soon! https://lnkd.in/g-xwZrNU #ShowtheWayADRASJ

We're honored to have hosted U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona at our Tokyo headquarters! With the ORBITS Act of 2023 passing the Senate last November, it was inspiring to see her enthusiasm for advancing the safety, stability, security, and long-term sustainability of space.

Big thank you to Mashable for featuring our ADRAS-J debris image in their list of the year's best spacecraft snaps. We agree—it's truly extraordinary! https://lnkd.in/g5G7MXkr

Astroscale Academy is in session! 🏫 We had an incredible time hosting a special event at our Orbitarium in Tokyo, where the next generation of space enthusiasts learned about space environmentalism and exploration. The future of space is bright, and we're thrilled to be part of their journey. Class dismissed... until the next orbit!
