Italian start-up born from a corresponding Ukrainian company with a high technical profile, Kurs Orbital develops a solution for space logistics based on a proprietary technology for docking satellites in orbit. In particular, Kurs Orbital aims to offer services for the inspection and maintenance of satellites promoting the extension of their service life.

The company plans to launch a demonstration vehicle in 2023, Usov told SpaceNews.

Kurs Orbital's ARCap Module enables the satellite's life extension, docking with space stations and space debris removal missions in fully autonomous mode.
