Orbital sanitation
Detect → approach → capture → controlled disposal. No fragmentation. No extra debris.
Low Earth Orbit is infrastructure.
We work where systems reach their terminal state. We read the signals left in orbit — and turn the end of one mission into the beginning of another.
Terminal Signals builds autonomous orbital service systems to remove debris, recover materials, and enable on-orbit construction of next-generation stations, engineering structures, and robots.

Mission
Make Earth’s orbit safe, managed, and circular — by converting debris into controlled material flow and reusable structural resources in space.
Recycling pipeline
Collect and sort derelicts into metals/composites; process into feedstock without returning to Earth.
Infrastructure from waste
Use recycled materials to build stations, structural trusses, shielding, and robotic platforms on orbit.
How we operate
Engineering-first architecture designed for repeatability and safety.
01
SSA + risk models
Tracking, classification, and hazard prioritization for high-impact objects.
02
Autonomous RPO
Vision-aided navigation for controlled rendezvous and proximity operations.
03
Modular capture
Interchangeable capture kits tuned to target geometry and dynamics.
04
Dispose or recycle
Safe de-orbit or transfer to on-orbit hubs for sorting and processing.
50-year roadmap
Decade-by-decade: from cleanup service → recycling economy → orbital infrastructure.
2026–2035
Orbital cleanup
Demonstrator missions, safe capture workflows, first commercial removal contracts, repeatable operations in LEO.
2036–2045
Collection & sorting
On-orbit depots for debris intake; material classification; reusable servicers with higher mission cadence.
2046–2055
On-orbit recycling
Processing modules convert recovered metals into feedstock; first structural elements produced in space.
2056–2065
Infrastructure buildout
Docking/servicing stations, construction robots, trusses/panels/shielding manufactured from recycled stock.
2066–2075
Circular orbital economy
High reuse rates; minimal “from-Earth” mass; expansion to higher orbits and cislunar operations.
