ASTROSCALE JAPAN Inc.
ASTROSCALE PTE. LTD. (ASTROSCALE) is the first private company with a mission to secure long-term spaceflight safety by developing space debris removal services. Launching its corporate headquarters in Singapore in 2013, R&D office in Japan in 2015, and a branch office in the United Kingdom in 2017, ASTROSCALE is spreading its global market.
ASTROSCALE's comprehensive approach to orbital services incorporates the business model, technologies, space regulations and law solutions that contribute to a more sustainable space environment.
Product/About Service
The ELSA-d mission planned for 2019 launch, will demonstate key technologies for orbital debris removal and validate End-of-Life (EOL) spacecraft retrieval and disposal services. With an aim to commercialize in 2020, ELSA-d, comprising of "Chaser" and "Target" satellites, will launch together and seperate in orbit. The Target will have a feromagnetic plate (Docking Plate) which will provide optical reference (or "markers") for the Chaser to identify and calculate the Target's motion. After three in-orbit demonstration missions, the Chaser will secure the Target and de-orbit from the congested LEO region, to finally burn up on atmospheric re-entry.
