offers proprietary and independent
smart motors for satellites
to safely re-orbit them
at the end-of-life,
eliminating end-of-life effort and pain,
increasing lifetime of satellites
and revenues for space operators.

COMMERCIAL SPACE AT RISK
More than 6000 satellites are
orbiting around the Earth
Only few satellites are
decommissioned according to
international guidelines.
Avoidance maneuvers increase in
frequency;
Proper decommissioning wastes
an amount of onboard propellant
that would otherwise be used to
extend the satellite mission in
orbit;
Service life estimation and
decommissioning operations are
complex activities;
Monitoring dead satellites will soon
be another activity charged to
satellite operators.
Only 900 satellites are fully
operating. The others fly
uncontrolled at about 30,000 km/h,
at risk of collision with other
spacecrafts or falling down into our
planet.
The risk of collision in orbit is
increasing exponentially (doubled
in the last 3 years).
IMPACT ON OPERATORS
LESS PROPELLANT = LESS REVENUES
9
Stop increasing the concentration
of defunct objects in space;
Make it economically viable; Remove the junk that is already there.
STRATEGY As of today, going into Space to clean space junk is neither economically convenient nor effective. High technological B$ spacecrafts’ theoretical target is to clean up to 10 satellites per year. Market demand foresees more than 100 new satellites per year (1200 in the next 8 years).
D-Orbit offers to satellite operators the most convenient solution to drastically reduce liabilities and costs and at the same time increase revenues.
BASIC SPACE STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES STEPS:
D-Orbit makes possible a clean and sound access to Space

DECOMMISSIONING DEVICES
Safe, controlled and quick
decommissioning (few hours)
both for LEO and GEO satellites
Unique and patent pending smart
propulsive device, easy to install
before launch
Independent from the
satellite, it may works even if
the satellite does not

and all its sub-units
In January 2014 D-Orbit patent application was filed in 11 countries worldwide

ADVANTAGES for Operators
Zero impact costs
Controlled re-orbit
Backup thruster
Increased mission time
* C. Wiedemann, “Analyzing costs of space debris mitigation methods” and K.K. Galabova, MIT, “Economic case for the retirement of geosynchronous communication satellites via space tugs”
Stress-free decommissioning

“Thus, operators can extract full useful life
from their satellite and still be able to safely
“clean up their mess” at the end.
The D-Orbit solution is clean, simple and
relatively inexpensive. For a commercial
operator its cost would likely be offset by
reduction of liability insurance premiums.”
Dr. Edward Cornet, former Booz Allen Hamilton partner

RECENT COMMERCIAL MILESTONES
May 2014
by one of the two biggest satellite operators worldwide
“[…] The parties express their wish, and share their interest, for assessing the possibility of integrating a d-Orbit device in satellite platform(s) to perform end of life re-orbiting. Both parties may convene on mutually-agreed milestones aimed at reaching intermediate critical design reviews with the aim to be able to have a d-Orbit device available by the end of 2015 such that it can be assessed against the
other available re-orbiting techniques. […]”

WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 10 POTENTIAL PROGRAMS (SAT + LAUNCHERS) THAT WILL BEGIN BEFORE 2016. WE PLAN TO GET INTO 3+ OF THEM.
20 TO COME: compulsory back-up system for decommissioning (source: IADC)
Today: You break it, you own it! Launching state (and consequently satellite owner) is liable for any damage produced by a satellite, dead or alive.
IADC (international committee) guidelines force EVERY satellite to be decommissioned at end-of-life
TODAY ALMOST ALL THE NATIONS WITH ACCESS TO SPACE HAVE A NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR SPACE DEBRIS MITIGATION
OR APPLY INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES BY CONTRACT

21ST NOVEMBER 2013 • D-Orbit command and
control unit and safe ignition units were qualified for launch and sent in space for final validation.
• Launch happened at 7am from Yasni base, Russia.
• Launch was successful, all satellites correctly positioned in orbit.
• All satellite’s systems nominal.
• Next: test and validation in orbit.
