ELSA-d, which was successfully launched into space during March 2021, consisted of two satellites: a service satellite (~ 175 kg) and a 'client' satellite (~ 17 kg) that simulates space debris, which were launched side by side. The service satellite was developed to safely remove pieces of space debris from orbit and is equipped with technologies that allow it to locate and connect safely to objects moving in space through a magnetic docking mechanism.

The ELSA-d satellite is the first to demonstrate in space the core technologies needed to attach to space junk and remove it from orbit. The company states that this is a significant step towards expanding the service in space orbit and achieving Astroscale's vision of a sustainable space for the benefit of future generations
