ClearSpace

ClearSpace develops in-orbit servicing and active debris removal technologies, including the ESA-partnered ClearSpace-1 mission, to enable sustainable space operations.

ClearSpace is a space technology company focused on building the servicing infrastructure required for the next era of orbital activity. Its work spans in-orbit servicing, active debris removal, and broader space operations, positioning it within the emerging on-orbit services economy. The company's approach is grounded in mission-focused engineering and a stated commitment to sustainable space practices, including alignment with zero-debris policies.

The company's flagship programme is ClearSpace-1, a pioneering active debris removal mission developed in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA). This mission aims to capture and deorbit a piece of space debris, demonstrating a critical capability for long-term orbital sustainability. Alongside this, ClearSpace is advancing in-orbit servicing through its Phoenix and PRELUDE missions, which are ongoing efforts to extend the life and utility of spacecraft already in orbit.

ClearSpace's technical domains encompass the full lifecycle of on-orbit service provision, from inspection and life extension to the removal of defunct objects. The company's work addresses a fundamental challenge for the space industry: managing the growing population of debris and ensuring the long-term usability of key orbital regimes. Its governance and responsible-space commitments are noted as core aspects of its operational philosophy.
