Phoenix

Once orbital debris is captured, there are multiple possible futures for it, with the current plan typically being to deorbit and burn up the object in the atmosphere on reentry. KMI believes in sustainability and that there is a better use for orbital debris once captured and controlled. The material from debris already available in the orbital environment could be recycled or repurposed to give it new life and further the development of new infrastructure and equipment in orbit. Utilizing available technologies in-house and with partners, KMI’s Phoenix project is a commitment to the sustainable recycling and repurposing of materials in orbit.
