Kall Morris Inc (KMI) and ExoSat in early September announced a strategic partnership to advance space debris removal operations.
This collaboration combines KMI’s Removal As A Service Laelaps spacecraft equipped with its REACCH system and ExoSat’s Debris-Fed Spacecraft (DeFeS). The partnership will enable both companies to offer comprehensive Active Debris Removal solutions, addressing the growing challenge of orbital debris.
The non-exclusive agreement allows for mutual service offerings, technology coordination, and client referrals based on orbital capabilities. Both firms will collaborate on grant opportunities and development efforts, aiming to conduct integrated missions by 2028.
“Engaging ExoSat for future KMI missions expands the opportunities for us both in reaching customers where they are located on Earth, on-orbit, and providing unique in-space logistics solutions. By growing these partnerships, together we can better address the challenges and seize our shared success in space,” said Troy M. Morris, Co-Founder & CEO of Kall Morris Inc (KMI).
Guillaume Ramaré, Co-founder and CEO of ExoSat Aerospace Industries, said, “ExoSat is delighted to partner with KMI in space debris removal. It’s one small step for our companies, but one giant leap for our customers, offering tailored solutions for a sustainable future in space.”
