Autonomous drone swarms that locate, capture, and recycle orbital debris. Not another expensive single-target mission — a fleet working orbit by orbit, turning debris into feedstock.
Mega-constellations are deploying thousands of satellites. Collisions generate thousands more fragments. Current debris removal costs $100M+ per object. At that rate, Kessler Syndrome triggers before we clean a fraction of what's up there. We need a fundamentally different architecture.
Coordinated fleets of mass-produced drones that sweep debris fields in parallel. One mothership deploys dozens of capture agents per orbital pass.
Capture and process materials in orbit instead of burning them up on reentry. Aluminum, titanium, and rare metals become feedstock for in-space manufacturing.
Systematic sweeps across congested altitude bands — LEO first, then MEO and GEO as the fleet scales.
Debris removal contracts fund operations. Recycled materials sell to in-space manufacturers. Two revenue streams, one platform.
| Factor | Industry Standard | OrbitReclaim |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Single spacecraft per target | Drone swarm per orbit band |
| Cost per removal | $86M+ (ClearSpace-1) | Orders of magnitude lower at scale |
| What happens to debris | Burned in atmosphere | Recycled into raw materials |
| Throughput | 1 object per mission | Multiple objects per deployment |
| Revenue model | Cleanup contracts only | Contracts + material sales |
