Breathing New Life into Space
A New Era:
From Expendable to Sustainable
We’re sustaining the future of space by giving satellites a second life. Life extension isn’t just about maintaining functionality — it’s about redefining how we interact with space as a shared and enduring environment. By preserving and enhancing the capabilities of critical geostationary satellites, we ensure that essential services remain uninterrupted. More importantly, we’re taking a bold step toward a more sustainable orbital ecosystem — one where assets are maintained, space debris is minimized, and long-term stewardship is the standard. Our mission reflects a growing shift in space operations: from expendable to extendable, from disposable to sustainable. This is about more than technology — it’s about responsibility, vision, and building a legacy of care and innovation beyond Earth.
Dock.
Restore.
Extend.
We’re achieving this through cutting-edge in-orbit servicing — a breakthrough approach that allows us to dock with aging satellites in geostationary orbit and restore their functionality directly in space. Using highly autonomous, precision-guided spacecraft, we safely attach to the target satellite and take over propulsion and attitude control, effectively extending its mission life by several years.
This process requires no changes to the original satellite design and happens entirely on orbit, without disrupting ongoing services. It’s a seamless blend of robotics, navigation, and spaceflight engineering that represents the future of responsible, agile satellite operations
ClearSpace has initiated the consolidation phase of its new GEO Life Extension Mission, with support from the Government of Luxembourg through an ESA Contract in the Luxembourg National Space Programme, LuxIMPULSE, implemented by the Luxembourg Space Agency.
With the backing of LSA, we are able to leverage the country’s strong space infrastructure, its strategic position within the European Space Agency, and its forward-thinking policies to drive our life-extension mission forward.
Luxembourg’s commitment to supporting space exploration and sustainable development makes it the perfect location for GEO’s groundbreaking work.
Together, with Luxembourg’s support, we are charting a new course in life extension—one that will improve the quality of life for generations to come.
The Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) drives the nation’s vision for a sustainable and commercially focused space sector. Founded in 2018, LSA supports the development of innovative space technologies and services through strategic initiatives like the LuxIMPULSE programme, part of the Luxembourg National Space Programme. As a key enabler of forward-looking space missions, LSA plays a pivotal role in supporting the consolidation phase of ClearSpace’s GEO Life Extension mission, helping to advance orbital servicing capabilities and long-term space sustainability.
