ELSA M, End of Life Services by Astroscale Multiple
The ELSAM servicer will provide a solution to capture and deorbit multiple commercial clients satellites per servicer safely and responsibly in a single mission and will be the first to demonstrate this capability. The ELSAM servicer will be able to support a range of future satellite operators, including constellations, which are equipped with a compatible magnetic capture mechanism such as the Astroscale Docking Plate. The mission is supported by the UK Space Agency through the Sunrise Programme which is run as a PublicPrivate Partnership between ESA and OneWeb. Astroscale has been working with OneWeb, one of the most mature LEO satellite constellation operators, for almost 5 years under the ESA Sunrise programme.
