Astroscale U.S. Signs Agreement with DESE Research to Serve Huntsville Space Ecosystem

Astroscale U.S., a provider of on-orbit services and logistics across all orbits, is strengthening its commitment to American space superiority by growing its presence in Huntsville’s space ecosystem.

This week, Astroscale U.S. signed a Strategic Presence Statement — connected to a formal Facility Use Agreement — with DESE Research, a knowledge-based organization focused on research in Defense, Energy, Space, and Environment. DESE has been a cornerstone of the Huntsville community for more than 40 years.

Leaders from the Astroscale U.S. team joined DESE in the shared office space in Huntsville for the signing ceremony and to celebrate being part of the Huntsville community. The collaboration allows Astroscale U.S. to build on existing relationships, better serve customers based in the area, and see the “Rocket City” through DESE’s experienced eyes.

“DESE has been a good friend and partner to us over the years, and we value their insights and experience in supporting Huntsville’s space community,” said Ron Lopez, President of Astroscale U.S. “We’ve been planning to expand our presence here for some time, and the timing couldn’t be better than now as we work to meet our customers’ needs effectively.”
