  1. 29. Stratospheric balloon-based laser ablation system for space debris removal
    Fernando Ruiz Vincueria (AICIA/University of Seville)
    10/09/2026, 11:00

    STRATOLASER is an EIC Pathfinder project led by AICIA/GRVC Robotics Lab together with HiLASE, CLPU, Fraunhofer, B2Space and Sapienza University of Rome. The project develops a stratospheric balloon-based laser architecture for future SSA and active debris mitigation. Operating at ~30 km altitude, above more than 99% of the atmosphere, enables significantly improved laser propagation and...

  2. 15. Autonomous and Propellant-Free Deorbit Devices at PERSEI Space
    Jesús Manuel Muñoz Tejeda (PERSEI Space)
    10/09/2026, 11:12

    PERSEI Space is a deep-tech start-up which develops autonomous, propellant-free deorbit devices solutions. The technology behind these devices is the electrodynamic tether, a long conductive tape that, once deployed in orbit, interacts with the LEO environment (ionosphere and magnetic field) to generate a propellant-less deorbiting force.

    Deorbit devices based on this technology are...

  3. 33. Trusted Data for Zero Debris: Driving Responsible Space Operations
    AGNIESZKA SYBILSKA (Sybilla Technologies)
    10/09/2026, 11:24

    Moving towards zero-debris operations requires turning policy ambition into practical, day-to-day capability. In this talk, we will share how accurate optical tracking, rapid data delivery, and independent verification can support collision avoidance, anomaly response, and accountability across the mission lifecycle. Using real operational scenarios, we will show how trusted STM data reduces...

  4. 22. LeoLabs' services in LEO: advancing space safety and sustainability
    Mr Joe Hunter
    10/09/2026, 11:36

    LeoLabs has built the world’s largest commercially owned object catalog and advanced space operations platform for LEO.
    This paper will present how Leolabs services and infrastructure actively contribute to global space traffic coordination. It will focus on our ability to follow high standards for Space Traffic Management and provide a data that is accurate, low-latency, continuous and...

  5. 16. Atmanetra: DGGS-Native Edge AI for On-Orbit Anomaly Detection and Secondary SSA
    Mr Narasimha Sharma Narayanam (Founder and CMD - Aganitha Space Technologies Ltd)
    10/09/2026, 11:48

    Aganitha Space is a Zero Debris Charter signatory developing Atmanetra, a DGGS-native onboard AI engine. We are currently at TRL 4, with edge inference benchmarked on UAV-grade hardware as a satellite compute surrogate. The reasoning stage detects anomalous orbital proximity events as a secondary function, aligned with OGC Testbed-21's SSA thread. Ground-based SSA detects breakup and proximity...

  6. 26. CHEOPS Adaptation to the Zero Debris Era
    MARIA FUENTES TABAS (INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE TÉCNICA AEROESPACIAL)
    10/09/2026, 12:00

    As the entity responsible for the operations of the CHEOPS mission, the Spanish institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) is developing an upgrade to the satellite’s end-of-life strategy, per ESA request, to exceed current expectations despite beginning the mission before the new debris mitigation standards.
    While the original disposal concept targeted 25 years, the new controlled re-entry...

  7. 39. High-Fidelity Hypervelocity Impact Simulations for Advancing Space Debris Breakup Models
    Pavan Kalyan Nanduri (Postdoc, LSMS, EPFL)
    10/09/2026, 15:30

    Space debris represents a growing threat to operational satellites in LEO. Beyond a critical object density, collisions can trigger a self-sustaining fragmentation cascade. The primary contributors to this debris population are satellite breakup events caused by hypervelocity impacts. Owing to the irreversible consequences of orbital debris, significant effort has been devoted to developing...

  9. 41. Project DEXTER: Debris EXtraction Tools for Extraterrestrial Recycling
    Jenny Kingston (Cranfield University)
    10/09/2026, 15:54

    In space recycling offers a sustainable solution to orbital debris. DEXTER, a four year EIC Pathfinder project launched in 2025, is developing technologies for harvesting, processing, and reusing inactive spacecraft. The modular robotic tools, vacuum compatible laser cutting and welding, and advanced sensing will enable semiautonomous extraction of debris materials, fostering a circular space...
