Who is Phinix?

PHINIX Orbital Systems is a French Space Tech Startup developing innovative technologies for the active removal of space debris (ADR) and end-of-mission deorbitation of satellites. Our mission is to use our solutions in orbit to capture and dispose of hazardous objects that threaten the safety and sustainability of space operations

Our vision is to become pioneers in space sustainability by protecting the space environment for the future of space activities and the welfare of humanity

The Danger of Space Debris.

The Danger of Space Debris.

The Danger of
Space Debris
.

Space is crowded with debris: dead satellites, rocket parts, and collision fragments. They can collide into active satellites, creating more junk and leaving orbital regions non-usable. This is the Kessler Syndrome, a chain reaction of collisions that could ruin the future of space activities. 

To stop this disaster, the space environment needs two fronts of action: Mitigation and Remediation. 

Today, mitigating the creation new debris through new rules, monitoring, and collision-avoidance services is helping to turn around the problem. Unfortunately, this won’t be enough as avoiding collisions is getting exponentially harder with every additional debris and satellite in orbit.  

To achieve sustainability, the space environment needs remediation by removing old debris from orbit

Our Solutions.

PHINIX responds to this global challenge by developing two debris-chaser satellites. 

Persephone.

Persephone stands at the heart of PHINIX's future missions, an Active Debris Removal Satellite designed to actively remove massive hazardous objects from orbit, reducing the risks of collisions and protecting the safety of operational satellites.

Demeter.

A smaller-scale version of Persephone, it’s our Demonstrator Satellite that will be operated throughout our first pioneering debris removal missions to showcase its core technologies. More than a satellite, Demeter represents the efforts of humanity to transition towards a sustainable space environment.
