Astroscale U.S. Expands into Texas Space Ecosystem in Collaboration with UTEP and City of El Paso

Astroscale U.S., a provider of on-orbit servicing and logistics across all orbits, is expanding its commitment to the Texas space ecosystem by setting up to do business in El Paso and collaborating with the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP).  

The expansion is supported through an economic development agreement approved by the El Paso City Council, reinforcing the city’s commitment to growing the aerospace and defense industry and advancing economic development opportunities in the region.  

Astroscale U.S. selected El Paso and UTEP because of their commitment to growing the commercial space ecosystem through speed and innovation. The company will maintain a permanent employment presence and workspace at the City of El Paso’s Innovation Factory near the El Paso International Airport and plans to work closely with UTEP's researchers and faculty to further advance the Astroscale U.S. mission.  

Astroscale U.S. and the UTEP Aerospace Center have signed a contract by which UTEP can advance critical capabilities in flight dynamics, autonomy, and space domain awareness leveraging the Center’s strengths in sensors, robotics, advanced manufacturing, and spacecraft development. This partnership will tackle some of the most pressing challenges in orbit today for a safer, more resilient space environment for the future of the Texas space economy.
