ADRAS-J World's First Debris Inspection Spacecraft
Congratulations to Astroscale on the successful launch of ADRAS-J, the world's first spacecraft for space debris inspection. CS GROUP is proud to have participated in this mission of the future, building the Flight Dynamics System based on our OREFLIDS tool, that is used for Astroscale innovative Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) capabilities.
The ADRAS-J mission was selected by JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency asthe world’s first attempt to safely approach, characterize and survey the state of an existing piece of large debris through RPO. ADRAS-J is designed to rendezvous with a Japanese H2A upper stage rocket body, demonstrate proximity operations, and gather images to assess the rocket body’s movement and condition of the structure.
