Astroscale Wins First Direct NASA Study Deal for Habitable Worlds Observatory

An update from Astroscale Holdings Inc. ( (JP:186A) ) is now available.

Astroscale U.S. Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Astroscale Holdings Inc., has been selected by NASA to conduct a study on how its on-orbit servicing technologies could support the Habitable Worlds Observatory, the planned space telescope dedicated to searching for signs of life on exoplanets. The study, which is expected to become Astroscale’s first direct contract with NASA, will examine how robotic servicing could reduce program risk, enhance scientific output, optimize resources, minimize downtime, and maximize maintenance and upgrade opportunities for the observatory, echoing the long-term value generated by servicing missions to the Hubble Space Telescope. While the contract amount and period are yet to be determined and any financial impact for the year ending April 2026 is expected to be minimal, Astroscale anticipates that revenue from the project will start contributing from fiscal 2027 onward and sees the engagement as a strategically important step that could lead to future on-orbit repair and upgrade business opportunities.
