Preventive solutions to space debris

ABOUT OUR COMPANY

The first ecosystem of equipment tailored for satellite end-of-life management.

With the booming space industry, space debris is growing exponentially, threatening access to space and vital services like communication, navigation and natural disaster management. The solution? Responsible disposal of space assets at end-of-mission, now a legal requirement since 2022.

To that end Ascend Beyond Space offers the first complete and accessible ecosystem of compatible and complementary equipment designed for this purpose, providing a sustainable solution to the growing challenge of space debris.
