ODIN Space

Congratulations to Astroscale on their IPO yesterday, closing trading with an impressive $1 billion market cap. This achievement underscores the increasing demand for innovative space debris solutions in the rapidly evolving space sector. In a time where global markets face challenges, Astroscale's explosive IPO highlights strong conviction within the investment community to support companies driving sustainability in space. Here's to a brighter, cleaner future for space! #SustainableSpace #Astroscale #SpaceDebris #IPO #MarketSuccess #FutureTech #Investment #Sustainability

China has reported that debris has damaged the Tiangong Space Station. Sadly, this news further illustrates the trend of increased space activity leading to more collisions. Space stations and satellites can (usually) see large debris coming and avoid it. Unfortunately over 99% of debris is too small to be seen but, as seen on Tiangong, is an expensive problem. More than ever the industry is in need of high quality data on the debris risk at all size levels. Get in touch to hear about ODIN Space’s mission to map lethal, sub-centimetre debris and how this will protect satellites from mission-ending collisions.

The UK has announced The Space Industrial Plan in order to be a global leader in Space Domain Awareness. This is a crucial step towards protecting space infrastructure from the perils associated with “space congestion”. As more satellites are launched, collisions with debris are increasing. Even debris the size of a tic-tac can disable a satellite instantly. ODIN Space is leading the way in mapping lethal, sub-centimetre debris. We look forward to contributing to the UK’s goals.

Our co-founders James New and Dan Terrett spoke to Reuters about our work here at ODIN Space! It was a great opportunity to talk about the problems caused by sub-centimetre space #debris, and about how ODIN Space can help to solve this growing problem. Mainstream recognition of this critical issue is an important step towards a #sustainable future for #space. https://lnkd.in/eK3VG3t6

This is a watershed moment: the first-ever fine has been issued to a company for leaving debris in space. Whilst relatively modest, this move by the US is recognition of the growing threat of space debris and is a welcome step towards disincentivising the pollution of space. This matters because leaving junk in orbit will create more of a mess as the objects smash into each other. This chain reaction of collisions - Kessler Syndrome - may make space unusable as it becomes cluttered with lethal fragments of former satellites. The majority of this mess will be sub-centimetre in size, impossible to see coming, and lethal to satellites. Even a fragment as small as a millimetre can disable an expensive satellite and create another piece of junk, continuing the spiral. This fine is one step towards preventing space’s nightmare scenario. At ODIN Space, we’re tackling another part of the challenge: the lack of data on the existing lethal sub-centimetre debris. Our technology is collecting the first data on these lethal fragments so that the space industry can operate as safely as possible.

In an ironic twist this week, a defunct payload adapter targeted for the upcoming ClearSpace-1 active space debris removal (ADR) mission collided with an untracked piece of debris, resulting in the release of additional new fragments. The adapter and the new fragmented debris are at an altitude ~700 km and an inclination of 98.7 degrees, increasing collision risk for over 100 satellites in the vicinity. Events like this serve as a reminder of how many lethal, untracked debris fragments are already in Earth orbit. As thousands more satellites are launched events such as this one will become more frequent. ODIN Space remains committed to creating a solution to map and analyse lethal, sub-centimetre debris. #OrbitalDebris #SpaceJunk #Space
