ADRAS-J
We will feature the Active Debris Removal by Astroscale-Japan (ADRAS-J) mission at our booth. ADRAS-J was a groundbreaking mission as the world’s first attempt to safely approach, characterize and survey the state of an existing piece of large debris through Rendezvous and Proximity Operations. ADRAS-J is designed to rendezvous with an unprepared Japanese upper stage rocket body (approximately 11 meters long, 4 meters in diameter, and weighing approximately 3 tons), demonstrate proximity operations, and gather images to assess the rocket body’s movement and condition of the structure. Unprepared objects in orbit pose an additional challenge as they are not designed with any technologies that enable docking or potential servicing or removal. Since its launch in February this year, it has successfully demonstrated RPO technologies including approach to the debris from long distance, fixed-point observations and fly-around observations. Visitors can see images of the debris that ADRAS-J took on orbit at our booth.
