| Description: | To fulfil our long-term vision, Space Foundry will initially tap into the most readily available source of material near Earth: space debris. At the Space Foundry, reusable space tugs will deliver large debris items, such as spent rocket bodies and defunct satellites, to be processed and refined to customer specifications. The tugs will then deliver these finished materials to said customer. By recycling space debris, this will also be offering the first economically sustainable solution to address the growing space debris problem, not only generating an early revenue stream, but establishing a principle of long-term, sustainable use of the near-Earth orbital environment. |
