About SOAR

Satellite Orbital Access and Removal is developing a passive approach to a class of orbital debris that current systems do not reliably track.

Satellite Orbital Access and Removal (SOAR) is developing PODRS, the Passive Orbital Debris Removal System. PODRS is designed to intercept and characterize orbital debris 10 centimeters and smaller — objects that, at orbital velocity, can disable a spacecraft, yet sit below the threshold of reliable detection.

The work is patent pending and in active development, advancing toward a planned on-orbit demonstration. SOAR is based in Florida and can be reached by mail at P.O. Box 12852, Fort Pierce, FL 34979, or by email at partners@satelliteorbitalaccess.com.

SOAR is open to research collaborators, institutional partners, and mission stakeholders. An advisory role, press mention, or research conversation does not imply endorsement by any current or former employer, or by any government organization.
