smart motors for satellites to safely re-orbit them at the end-of-life, eliminating end-of-life effort and pain, increasing lifetime of satellites and revenues for space operators.

COMMERCIAL SPACE AT RISK
More than 6000 satellites are
Only few satellites are decommissioned according to international guidelines. Avoidance maneuvers increase in frequency; Proper decommissioning wastes an amount of onboard propellant that would otherwise be used to extend the satellite mission in
Service life estimation and decommissioning operations are complex activities; Monitoring dead satellites will soon be another activity charged to satellite operators. Only 900 satellites are fully
uncontrolled at about 30,000 km/h, at risk of collision with other spacecrafts or falling down into our planet. The risk of collision in orbit is increasing exponentially (doubled in the last 3 years).
IMPACT ON OPERATORS
LESS PROPELLANT = LESS REVENUES

Stop increasing the concentration
Make it economically viable; Remove the junk that is already there.
STRATEGY
As of today, going into Space to clean space junk is neither economically convenient nor
per year. Market demand foresees more than 100 new satellites per year (1200 in the next 8 years). D-Orbit offers to satellite operators the most convenient solution to drastically reduce liabilities and costs and at the same time increase revenues.
BASIC SPACE STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES STEPS:
D-Orbit makes possible a clean and sound access to Space

DECOMMISSIONING DEVICES
Safe, controlled and quick decommissioning (few hours) both for LEO and GEO satellites Unique and patent pending smart propulsive device, easy to install before launch Independent from the satellite, it may works even if the satellite does not

ADVANTAGES for Operators Zero impact costs Controlled re-orbit Backup thruster Increased mission time

“Thus, operators can extract full useful life from their satellite and still be able to safely “clean up their mess” at the end. The D-Orbit solution is clean, simple and relatively inexpensive. For a commercial
reduction of liability insurance premiums.”

by one of the two biggest satellite operators worldwide
“[…] The parties express their wish, and share their interest, for assessing the possibility of integrating a d-Orbit device in satellite platform(s) to perform end of life re-orbiting. Both parties may convene on mutually-agreed milestones aimed at reaching intermediate critical design reviews with the aim to be able to have a d-Orbit device available by the end of 2015 such that it can be assessed against the

IADC (international committee) guidelines force EVERY satellite to be decommissioned at end-of-life
TODAY ALMOST ALL THE NATIONS WITH ACCESS TO SPACE HAVE A NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR SPACE DEBRIS MITIGATION OR APPLY INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES BY CONTRACT
