The 9th Space Debris Workshop (February 24-26, 2021. Chofu Aerospace Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)(CAC), Online meeting), Chofu, Tokyo, Japan
JAXA has launched the Commercial Removal of Debris Demonstration (CRD2) program with the purpose of establishing debris removal as a new business and developing a market by private sector. The program has two goals: to demonstrate active debris removal (ADR) technology and to pave the way for the private sector to implement ADR as a business. The program consists of two phases, Phase I and Phase II. In Phase I, the demonstration spacecraft will approach the Japanese rocket upper stage in orbit to perform proximity operations and take detailed images. In Phase II, the target will be removed from the initial orbit in addition to the Phase I mission sequences. Astroscale Corporation has been selected as the partner company for the Phase I, and the project has been launched in March 2020. The preliminary design activities are currently underway. This presentation will provide the overview of CRD2 program and the latest updates on the Phase I project.
