Hello my dears,
I was so pleased that my last space share caused such a great discussion.
Naturally, I continued my search in this exciting sector.
And I found a Japanese champion.
It is important for me to start by pointing out the opportunities and risks:
- We are in the more speculative area here
- Opportunities due to low competition in an emerging market worth billions
- At the same time, the share remains volatile, as the business model is capital-intensive and sales will only scale with increasing commercialization.
- Triple-digit sales growth
- With triple-digit growth in net income, the company will be profitable in 2028
- Not yet profitable at present
- Trading volume currently low, which is typical for smaller Japanese growth stocks in foreign trade
- Net debt is rising dramatically (as is the case for almost all companies in the sector)
- Free cash flow is negative
- 2028 P/E ratio is around 204x
- EBIT margin negative / 2028 positive in the single-digit range
Even if here @Raketentoni will write:
" This is the ride on the cannonball "
I don't see everything so negatively here, and can also see great opportunities. The stock market plays the future, and I see it very well here.
Ladies and gentlemen, how do you see the future and the company here?
I look forward to your comments after reading my company presentation on Astroscale $186A (+2,7%) .
Commercial operators
Our daily lives depend on the continuous functioning of satellites that provide a variety of services, including global communications, navigation and detailed imagery of the Earth. However, commercial operators providing these services in all orbits via their high-value assets face various challenges, such as fuel consumption, collision hazards from expired satellites and other debris, failures of key subsystems or delayed replacements.
Civilian government
The global space arms race is accelerating more than ever, and nations are working together internationally to promote growth and solve national and international challenges through cutting-edge technologies.
National Security
As nations seek to monitor threats and deter adversaries in space, defense sectors worldwide are increasingly recognizing the value of in-orbit maintenance and RPO to secure satellite operations.
Astroscale Holdings Inc. is a Japan-based company engaged in the research and development of technologies related to on-orbit services such as debris removal and in-space demonstrations. The company offers four services, including EOL (End-of-Life) service, ADR (Active Debris Removal) service, LEX (Life Extension) service and ISSA (In-Situ Space Situational Awareness) service. The EOL service is a removal service that prevents satellites that have ceased operations from becoming debris. The ADR service is a service to remove existing debris by launching a service company of the Group, which captures the existing debris, descends into its orbit and burns it in the atmosphere. The LEX service is a service to extend the operational life of a satellite or to transfer it to another orbit. The ISSA service launches observation satellites, safely approaches objects at close range and collects data about the target object that can be used to analyze the cause of the failure and understand the target object.

Exotrail and Astroscale France join forces to build deorbit capability for LEO
from January 28, 2026
The partnership is designed as a multi-year collaboration. "This framework with Astroscale is much broader than just a one-off opportunity," said Maria. "The idea is to find a partner not only for this mission, but also to build a real commercial capability. What we want to show the market is that now is the right time to partner."

Astroscale UK has been awarded an ESA contract to develop a world-first in-orbit modernization and refurbishment service
Published on January 13, 2026
Harwell, Oxfordshire, January 13th, 2026 - Astroscale Limited ("Astroscale UK"), a subsidiary of Astroscale Holdings Inc, the world's leading in-orbit service provider, has been awarded a EUR 399,000 (approximately £350,000) Phase A contract by the European Space Agency (ESA) to lead the In-Orbit Refurbishment and Upgrading Service (IRUS), a pioneering mission concept that will enable satellites to be refurbished, repaired and extended while in orbit. This initiative supports the Space Safety Programme ESA and underlines Europe's commitment to reducing orbital risks and ensuring safe operations for future generations.
With the participation of the spacecraft manufacturer and operator BAE Systems as a future in-orbit service customer, IRUS represents a significant step towards a circular space economy where satellites are serviced, repaired and upgraded in orbit rather than being treated as a single-use asset. The development of this new capability will pave the way for more complex In-Orbit Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM) opportunities - as refurbishment and upgrades are essential prerequisites for the assembly and manufacturing of platforms in space.
