Asteria
Asteria is an innovative adhesive technology that allows the coupling of payloads to legacy and modern Resident Space Objects, enhancing ISAM capabilities, improving tracking, and facilitating deorbit needs. For persistent attachment, Asteria uses gecko adhesion to attach new payloads to unprepared RSO, enabling passive disposal, future interfacing or servicing, life extension, or adversarial defense. This technology allows for permanent attachment of modules to unprepared surfaces without requiring continuous power input or external support for this capability. This technology utilizes omnidirectional gecko adhesion to establish a viable method of permanent attachment to objects in space, on a wide range of compatible material and surface types, for a wide range of applications.
