A Standard Data Company venture

SpaceWorX

We build reusable satellites that remove space debris, photograph the Earth, and rent payload space to communications tenants. Three revenue streams. One vehicle. Zero waste.

Clear the plane. Keep the plane. Lease the plane.

The Work

One truck. Three paychecks.

Every debris removal company before us built a vehicle that dies after one job. We build servicers that live in orbit, work a route, and earn three ways at once.

REVENUE 01

Debris Removal

Each servicer is locked to one orbital plane, like a crew assigned to one job site. Park dormant, wake on tasking, phase to the target, capture, dispose, return.

Reusing one vehicle across dozens of targets cuts removal cost from the industry's 90 million dollar class to the 3 to 8 million dollar class.

REVENUE 02

Earth Observation Data

Our home plane is sun synchronous orbit, the same ground lighting on every pass, the most valuable imaging orbit in space. Between jobs, the servicer's camera points down and collects imagery for sale.

The camera is ours alone. We never sell imaging or recording space on the vessel; the data business stays in house.

REVENUE 03

Hosted Comms Payloads

Spare mass, power, and pointing on each servicer is leased to communications tenants: transmitters and receivers that ride our vessel and pay rent, the way carriers lease space on a cell tower.

Transmit and receive hardware only. No cameras, no recorders, no exceptions. Tenants get the ride; the view stays ours.

01

Park

Dormant, low power, camera earning

02

Wake

Tasking received from the ground

03

Phase

Drop 25 km, lap forward to target

04

Capture

Grapple the tumbling target

05

Dispose

Deorbit assist, boost, or handoff

06

Return

Back to park. Repeat 45 times per tank

Job Sites

Three planes hold the priority mass

Debris is not spread evenly across the sky. It is clustered in a handful of orbital planes, and three of them hold an estimated 80 percent of the mass that matters.

Why Now

The 2027 to 2030 convergence

Regulation with teeth

The FCC five year disposal rule is enforced and the first fine has been levied. ESA requires 90 percent disposal success. Insurers now ask for debris compliance before writing policies.

Tenants are moving in

Multiple gigawatt scale orbital data center constellations have filed for sun synchronous orbit, the same band the worst debris contaminates. Somebody has to clear the site before they move in.

Launch costs are collapsing

Next generation launch pricing makes a standardized, mass produced servicer fleet affordable for the first time in history. Rideshare to our first plane is already routine.

Founding Backers

Help us put the first truck on the road

A billion dollars has been spent on space debris and nothing has come down. We are building the architecture that makes removal repeatable, cheap, and worth owning. Our Kickstarter funds the first ground prototype: the reusable capture mechanism no one has built, tested on a rig you can watch run. Founding backers get their name on the program and a front row seat from day one.
