Allocation.Space is building a commodity futures market trading on the needs of today’s commercial space industry. This market infrastructure will provide operators sophisticated financial instruments for de-risking orbital trade and servicing.

This market will be built on the Allocation protocol—a rigorous and trusted foundation for trading any deliverable asset running on the Algorand blockchain. The Allocation Protocol is built for broad application and owned by its community of users, its growth will help power Allocation.Space and the trade of  the goods and services needed to support the commercialization of space. Over the next decade we will be placing our own depots on orbit to facilitate the storage and trade of these materials as the commercialization of space expands to the lunar surface and beyond, and back again.

ClearSpace SA is a Swiss start-up aiming to clean up space actively. A spin-off of EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) in 2018, ClearSpace brings together space experts including astronauts, engineers, and researchers from all around the world to work on a mission for ESA (European Space Agency) that will ensure Space’s sustainability for tomorrow’s generations. The ClearSpace-1 mission’s goal is to demonstrate the technologies needed for future commercial debris removal as in-orbit servicing of failed satellites will become a new industry in the future. The mission will launch in 2025.

Obruta Space Solutions is a Canadian space robotics and technologies company focused on satellite servicing and space debris removal systems. Obruta is developing the Puck, a low-cost single interface to enable any spacecraft to receive in-orbit services. The Puck replaces existing satellite hardware components and enables equipped satellites to receive orbital services including refueling, recharging, data transfer, life-extension, orbit and attitude changes, deorbiting, and hardware replacement. To complement the Puck, Obruta is simultaneously developing an all-in-one RPO vision and docking system to simplify both cooperative and uncooperative spacecraft docking and inspection, and to host various spacecraft services for Puck-equipped satellites.

As society becomes increasingly technologically advanced, we rely on space infrastructure more and more. Satellite failures can cost billions, leave millions without services, and can put lives at risk. There is an information gap in satellite health, leading to half of satellite failures having no known cause. SCOUT is closing this information gap by developing an in-space inspection technologies and services. The data we collect will help extend satellite lifetimes, avert catastrophic failures, and ultimately prevent the debris the failures would have caused.

Starfish Space is developing an on-orbit transportation service to enable the evolving space mission. The service is provided by a small space tug, and is focused on providing value to satellites that are already in orbit. The space tug will fulfill satellite servicing missions that create a new paradigm for satellite operation now, and form transportation infrastructure for the future off-world economy.

Starfish Space’s initial product is safe and efficient rendezvous and proximity operations software. The RPO algorithms are capable of docking using exclusively electric propulsion. This software is key for operations of the company’s eventual space tug, and can also provide value to complementary satellite servicing missions.
