Company Description

Exploration Laboratories, a startup focused on space resources, is accelerating work on technology to autonomously capture space objects. They are developing the Autonomous Capture & Acquisition Robot (ACQR) and the Space Exploration and Resource Vehicle (SERV) for large debris capture and control in space. The long-term goal is to provide the world's largest operational spacecraft to support asteroid retrieval missions for in-situ resource utilization in cis-lunar space.
