How Space Tugs Are Becoming a Real Business

Lucas and Luna explore the emerging market for space tugs—vehicles that move satellites between orbits after launch. They focus on the case of Astroscale's ELSA-M mission, which aims to service and reposition satellites in low Earth orbit. The hosts discuss the business model, the technology behind orbital transfer vehicles, and how this niche is attracting investment from both governments and private operators. They also touch on the regulatory challenges and the potential for in-orbit services to reduce space debris while creating a new revenue stream for launch companies. A concrete look at how moving things around in space is becoming a viable industry. #SpaceTugs #Astroscale #ELSA-M #OrbitalTransfer #InOrbitServices #SpaceDebris #SatelliteServicing #LowEarthOrbit #SpaceBusiness #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CommercialSpace #SpaceLogistics #SpaceStartup #OrbitalManeuvering #SpaceEconomy #SpaceInnovation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
