In the six months following seed funding, we will begin viability studies for the key elements of the debris capture system.
Phase 1 is the concept viability of small, cooperating, autonomous robot spacecraft, affectionately called "space tractors," that will use several capabilities to capture orbital debris and park it in a safe location.

Priority 2 is the implementation of docking stations for communications relay, space tractor docking functionality and recharging, and the study of long range navigation and propulsion using little or no fuel.
Priority 3 is figuring out options for lunar regolith dust mitigation resulting from multiple, routine landings and transporting debris to the Moon for recycling, processing, and reuse.

The vision of this project is to use a swarm of cooperating autonomous space vehicles to execute clean up services of orbital debris for governments and companies with a focus on collecting precious metals, alloys, polymers, and other valuable materials that can be stored at lunar recovery locations, recycled, and sold to government or business entities operating on the Moon.
The inspiration for this project emerged from the urgent need to mitigate the increasing threat of space debris to operational satellites and space stations and the incredible cost of launching building materials to the Moon for construction of bases and structures.
Governments and countries continuously adjust their assets’ orbital altitudes to avoid abandoned debris, which is an expensive and labor intensive operation. We can relieve our customers of this activity by cleaning up the most populated orbital altitudes.
It makes sense to reuse precious metals and valuable materials that are already in space, rather than allowing it to burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Tons of materials are required to build stations on the Moon and it would be very expensive to launch those materials from Earth. In-situ construction on the Moon would benefit by augmenting locally created building materials with recycled materials.
We can also extend satellite and space station service life by designating our spacecraft to an asset to make orbital adjustments when the asset runs out of fuel to do so itself.
