ClearSpace: Revolutionising Space Missions
Founded in 2018, ClearSpace is on a
mission to revolutionise space missions.
With dynamic engineering teams spread
across their offices in Switzerland, the
UK, Germany, Luxembourg, and the
United States, ClearSpace is developing
technologies that span the gamut of in-orbit
servicing applications. From disposal and
in-orbit transport to inspection, assembly,
manufacturing, repair, and recycling,
ClearSpace aims to usher in a new era of
sustainable space operations and foster a
circular space economy.
ClearSpace has been selected by the UK
Space Agency to develop an Active Debris
Removal mission capable of removing
multiple dangerous objects from space. The
Clearing of the LEO Environment with
Active Removal (CLEAR) mission, which
will advance key technology building
blocks, is a catalyst for the development of
commercially viable disposal services. Visit
the ClearSpace website to find out more
about its efforts to combat space debris with
the CLEAR mission. Visit their Careers page

What else are we doing about space
sustainability?
We take a multi-faceted approach to
delivering on our space sustainability
commitments, investing heavily in both
European Space Agency (ESA) and national
initiatives. Alongside debris removal and
in-orbit servicing and manufacturing, we
have teams working in areas such as space
surveillance and tracking, regulation and
standards, and, crucially, international
cooperation.
Through ESA, we are a major investor
in the ClearSpace-1 mission to remove
a piece of debris from orbit, planned for
2026. Through ESA’s Advanced Research
in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES)
