As a result, space traffic and the problem of space junk intensify. The so-called debris can significantly harm other objects, substantially threatening the success of space missions. In the past, collisions have created millions of debris objects endangering safe and sustainable operations in space. Astroscale, founded in 2013, is attempting to solve this issue by developing innovative technologies and creating a business case for sustainable operations in space. To achieve this, the company is offering different services, i.e., active debris removal, end of life, life extension, and space situation awareness.engCase-studySustainable developmentSpace industryAstroscale - tackling the issue of space debrismaster thesis202972186
