Cosmoserve’s active debris removal tech to take flight with Skyroot’s Vikram
Startup Cosmoserve Space is set to test its soft robotic capture technology for space debris removal aboard Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1 rocket. The mission, dubbed Mission Embrace, aims to demonstrate a cost-effective way to latch onto defunct satellites in orbit.
Why it matters
As orbital congestion grows, developing scalable and affordable technologies for space debris removal is critical for the long-term sustainability of satellite operations.
Cosmoserve Space, a startup developing active debris removal (ADR) technologies, said its first orbital technology demonstration will piggyback aboard Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1, whose approved launch window is between July 12 and August 4.
