SpaceLogistics LLC (US)

SpaceLogistics LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation (US), provides geosynchronous satellite operators with cooperative space logistics and in-orbit satellite servicing via its fleet of commercial servicing vehicles—the mission extension vehicle (MEV), the mission robotic vehicle (MRV), and the mission extension pods (MEP). SpaceLogistics currently provides geosynchronous satellite operators with in-orbit satellite servicing via the MEV TM, which docks with the customers' existing satellites and provides the propulsion and attitude control required to extend their lives. This enables the satellite operators to enter new markets, increase asset value, and safeguard their franchises.

Airbus SE (Netherlands)

Airbus SE, through its subsidiary Airbus Defence and Space (Germany), actively explores and develops technologies and services related to in-orbit satellite servicing. The company recognizes the potential of this market, as it can extend the lifespan of satellites, enable repairs, and facilitate upgrades or repositioning in space.

Thales Alenia Space (France)

Thales Alenia Space is a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%) that specializes in satellite manufacturing and orbital services. The company has developed a range of on-orbit servicing vehicles that can perform maintenance and upgrades on the satellites while they are in orbit. The goal is to extend the satellite's lifetime, besides limiting the space debris, to enable better management of the current and future space assets. Thales Alenia Space has also developed multi-mission space vehicles designed for in-orbit repair and maintenance
