ClearSpace builds in-orbit servicing capabilities, including satellite inspection, life extension and active debris removal, with missions such as ClearSpace-1 developed with ESA.
ClearSpace builds in-orbit servicing layers for the next generation of space operations. Its work spans satellite inspection, satellite life extension and active debris removal, with the stated aim of protecting the orbital environment. The company's technical domains also include space mission engineering, orbital environment sustainability, and space governance and responsible-space operations.
The company's portfolio comprises three named missions and initiatives. ClearSpace-1, its flagship active debris removal mission, is developed in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) and is described as a first active debris removal mission. Phoenix and PRELUDE are ongoing in-orbit servicing missions. ClearSpace serves both institutional and commercial customers, and maintains a European presence through its collaboration with ESA.
ClearSpace describes a mission-focused engineering approach and states a commitment to governance and responsible-space practices, alignment with zero-debris and sustainable operations goals, and advocacy for a sustainable, secure and circular space economy. Its stated philosophy is that servicing satellites should protect orbital environments rather than add to them.
