Preventive solutions to space debris

ABOUT OUR COMPANY

The first ecosystem of equipment tailored for satellite end-of-life management.

With the booming space industry, space debris is growing exponentially, threatening access to space and vital services like communication, navigation and natural disaster management. The solution? Responsible disposal of space assets at end-of-mission, now a legal requirement since 2022.

To that end Ascend Beyond Space offers the first complete and accessible ecosystem of compatible and complementary equipment designed for this purpose, providing a sustainable solution to the growing challenge of space debris.

Close collaboration with CNES

Ascend Beyond Space is proud to announce that it has been working closely with the French Space Agency (Centre National d'Études Spatiales) to develop the next generation of space‑grade propellant‑gauging units. This new sensor combines pressure and temperature measurement in a single compact device; perfected for high‑precision readings at end‑of‑mission while delivering exceptional performance from launch to shutdown. Unlike anything else on the market, it is being tailored for constellations, scalable to hundreds of units per year, while also becoming the first sensor fully compatible with hydrogen peroxide (HTP), a rapidly rising greener propellant for next-generation satellites.
