Assuming Mobility is as valuable in the space domain as it is in other Warfighting domains, our Guardians must be capable of "fighting through" adversity in orbit. After a debris generating event in LEO, Space Cowboy leverages partnerships with government and commercial SDA providers to position itself into proximity with harmful space debris...focusing on pieces that pose the highest risk to protected assets in LEO. Space Cowboy collects data on debris and physically captures and stores select pieces.
