Astroscale’s new facility at Harwell campus

UK-based satellite servicing and space debris removal company Astroscale has reached an important milestone in its mission to promote long-term orbital sustainability.

This week the ESA-supported firm opened a new manufacturing and operations facility at Harwell campus in Oxfordshire.

The new premises – called the Zeus building – includes a clean room for building and testing satellites, a mission operations centre, and office space to host 120 staff.

The state-of-the-art site is crucial to the company’s plan to expand its commercial offering in the years to come.
