Astroscale’s $61M refueling mission isn’t a demo — it’s happening.
In this Space Café “33 minutes with Ron Lopez”, live from @Astroscale_US after the 40th #SpaceSymposium, @TKriening talks GEO refueling, orbital logistics, and what it means to “deliver sustainability as a service.”
From the $61M APS-R mission to military partnerships and Astroscale’s global footprint — Ron Lopez maps out what’s next.

BIG NEWS: We’re leading a refueling mission for a @SpaceForceDoD satellite on orbit with our APS-R spacecraft!
The servicer will open a greater level of agility and flexibility for the United States Space Force.
This mission will mark the first time a U.S. Space Force asset will be refueled on orbit, and the first mission to conduct hydrazine refueling operations above geostationary orbit (GEO).
Learn more about the mission and the APS-R spacecraft: astroscale-us.com/astroscale…

Our SVP of Business Development & Advanced Systems Jack Deasy recently highlighted the economic case for space sustainability with @HarvardHBS MBA students. The class discussed the newly released book “Space to Grow: Unlocking the Final Economic Frontier.”
The class discussed whether humanity could continue exploring and benefitting from space before orbital debris accumulations make it unsafe or impossible.
We always enjoy exchanging ideas with future business leaders and innovators. Thanks for having us!
