BubbleBee is a passive debris capture architecture targeting the 1–10 cm untrackable population. Geodesic absorber units tumble continuously to present omnidirectional cross-section, with multi-layer Whipple shielding protecting nested density-gradient gelatin matrices that decelerate hypervelocity impacts without fragmentation.
Units operate as a coordinated swarm, distributing collection...

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...

AGNIESZKA SYBILSKA (Sybilla Technologies)10/09/2026, 11:24Lightning Talk
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...

Naman Chawla, Ms Sachi Patel (Chief Operating Officer)10/09/2026, 11:36Lightning Talk
OrbitArch is developing an edge-deployable AI system integrating computer vision models with camera-based hardware for real-time on-orbit object detection and characterisation. Our models, trained for the space environment, enable satellites to autonomously identify, track, and assess proximity objects, including debris and resident space objects, without ground-in-the-loop latency.

Hosted payloads offer a structural pathway to reduce debris generation by maximizing the utility of existing space assets. By embedding secondary payloads within already planned missions, they avoid the need for dedicated spacecraft, thereby reducing launch frequency, collision risk, and end-of-life objects.
This contribution presents a standardised payload-hosting interface enabling...

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...
