OSMOS X Leads European Satellite-Capture Spacecraft Project

OSMOS X, a French firm, is reported to lead a European consortium developing a spacecraft intended to capture satellites. The proposed design would use welding to attach to a satellite without a docking port.

Key details

• OSMOS X is identified as the project lead.
• The consortium is developing a spacecraft intended for satellite capture.
• The proposed capture method uses welding and does not require a docking port.

The proposed spacecraft would capture satellites through welding, without a docking port.

Why it matters

The proposed method would allow the spacecraft to capture satellites without relying on a docking port. The project brings together a European consortium under the leadership of OSMOS X.
