Keeping orbit open
for what comes next

Every call, forecast, map, and mission depends on a safe orbital environment. Salus Space captures the debris that threatens it — and turns what we recover into the foundation of the first circular economy in space.

40,000+ debris objects large enough to track are circling Earth right now — each one a potential mission-ending collision.
130M+ smaller fragments travel faster than a bullet — too small to track, too dangerous to ignore.
12,000+ active satellites deliver the communications, navigation, and security the world relies on every day.

What we do

From hazard to resource, in three moves

We don't just move debris out of the way. We treat it as the raw material of a new orbital economy — recovered safely, contained securely, and put back to work.

01 · Capture

Capture

We rendezvous with defunct satellites and hazardous debris in orbit and bring them under control — safely, precisely, and without creating new fragments.

02 · Contain

Contain

Recovered objects are secured inside our containment system, kept isolated from operational orbits and ready for what comes next.

03 · Circulate

Circulate

Instead of burning value up in the atmosphere, we keep materials in orbit — laying the groundwork for reuse, recycling, and in-space servicing at scale.

Vision & mission

Today's answer burns up with its catch.
We're building a better one.

The satellites modern life runs on — navigation, communication, weather, defense, science — share an orbital environment that grows more crowded every month. Spent rocket stages, dead satellites, and stray fragments now move fast enough that a single collision can end a mission and scatter thousands of new hazards in its wake.

Our vision

An orbital environment that is safe, sustainable, and self-renewing

A future in which yesterday's debris becomes tomorrow's resource — where materials launched at great cost stay in space, working, circulating, and creating value.

Our mission

Make debris removal timely, repeatable, and economical

We capture defunct satellites and large debris — even objects never designed to be caught — then contain, transport, store, and recycle what we recover.

I

One vehicle, many missions

Capture, containment, and storage on common, reusable hardware — no bespoke spacecraft built and thrown away per target.

II

Ready before the threat

Pre-positioned in orbit, able to close on a hazard in a fraction of the time it takes to design, build, and launch a dedicated mission.

III

Built for the debris others can't touch

Legacy objects with no grip points, no docking fixtures, and no cooperation — the targets fixture-dependent systems leave behind.

IV

Recover, don't incinerate

The aerospace-grade materials today's methods burn up on re-entry stay in orbit, ready for a second life.

"In ancient Rome, Salus was the goddess of safety and well-being — the guardian of the public good. We carry that name into orbit: protecting the shared environment that modern life quietly runs on."

Who we serve

Built for the missions that matter

GOV

Government & defense space programs

Supporting national space sustainability, resilience, and debris remediation priorities with U.S.-based operations and a mission-first culture.

CIV

Civil space agencies

Partnering on active debris removal and orbital stewardship — the missions that keep science, exploration, and Earth observation flying safely.

COM

Satellite operators

Protecting constellations and high-value assets from the growing collision risk in the orbits where they operate.

FUT

The next generation in space

Every mission we fly keeps orbit cleaner, safer, and more affordable for the builders who come after us. That's the point.
