ClearSpace is currently leading several flagship in-orbit servicing missions that demonstrate Europe’s operational capabilities, including ClearSpace-1, Europe’s first active debris removal mission, and Phoenix, a life-extension mission designed to extend satellite lifetimes. These efforts are complemented by PRELUDE, which further strengthens ClearSpace’s in-orbit servicing portfolio and operational readiness. Founded in Switzerland in 2018 and headquartered in Luxembourg, ClearSpace operates across Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Luxembourg, contributing to Europe’s resilience, strategic autonomy, and long-term space sustainability.
