OrbitReclaim — Investor One-Pager

Company Mission

Don't burn it.
Reclaim it.

OrbitReclaim is building a proposed autonomous drone-swarm architecture to locate, capture, and preserve orbital debris — with the goal of turning the most congested orbital lanes into managed, recoverable inventory. OLE v2.0 is designed around a 5-drone decentralized swarm deployed via piggyback rideshare, targeting the 1–10 kg debris class (the highest collision frequency per object) that current solutions cannot address economically. We're building orbital infrastructure for a circular space economy; flight qualification and operations remain future milestones.

The Problem

Orbit is filling up. Nobody's cleaning it.

Mega-constellations (SpaceX: 6,000+, Amazon Kuiper: 3,236 planned) compound the debris cascade faster than any current platform can address it. $100M+ per object removal cost makes the 1–10kg class economically irrational to target.

The gap: too small for Astroscale and ClearSpace ($82–110M per removal), too large to ignore.

Our Solution

Fleet economics, not mission economics.

A coordinated 5-drone swarm deployed as piggyback payload ($50–150K per mission), operating in formation to tag, relocate, and preserve debris across congested orbital bands.

Orders of magnitude lower cost per object. Throughput scales with fleet count, not mission count.

Architecture

5-Drone Decentralized Swarm

Decentralized consensus protocol — no single point of failure. GPS-denied relative navigation via LiDAR + visual-inertial odometry.

Propulsion

Cold Gas + Electroadhesive Capture

120 m/s Δv budget per drone. Electroadhesive contact pads for debris grapple. Relocation + corrall mechanics — deorbit is last resort.

Deployment

Piggyback Rideshare

Swarm deploys as secondary payload on commercial LEO missions. No dedicated launch required — orbit-by-orbit systematic coverage.

Autonomy

Pretrained Neural Swarm Logic

Proposed onboard GNC (guidance, navigation, control) for orbital debris dynamics. Hardware-in-the-loop validation is planned.

Safety

"Never Create New Debris"

Three-layer collision avoidance: TLE-based 72h predictive screening, real-time LiDAR sensing, fail-safe dispersal on loss of consensus.

Disposition

Preserve, Don't Destroy

Relocated debris held in stable orbit as feedstock inventory for future in-space manufacturing. Circular economy, not controlled burn.

Policy Signal

FCC 2022 — 5-Year Disposal Mandate

LEO satellites must dispose within 5 years (down from 25-year guideline). Thousands of existing satellites are non-compliant, driving demand for active debris removal services now.

Market Signal

SDA $52.5M Deorbit Contract Awarded

The Space Development Agency's award to Starfish Space is third-party market context, not OrbitReclaim funding, validation, or a customer result. The timing of future ADR demand remains a market hypothesis.
