REACCH can steer an object away from a collision path, reposition a satellite to a different orbit, or guide debris toward a controlled deorbit.

Kall Morris Inc. used the ISS National Laboratory to test its REACCH system across more than 170 capture trials aboard the International Space Station.

REACCH can move objects considerably larger than itself.

REACCH attaches to a surface and pushes instead of wrapping around a target object.

KMI expects REACCH to support satellite relocation and end-of-life management in low Earth orbit.

Eligible initiatives must have at least 35 million euro in eligible expenses and costs.

Italy’s Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy has published a public call for Italian companies for the IPCEI Circular Advanced Materials project.

Proposals for the IPCEI Circular Advanced Materials project must contribute to at least one of six circular-economy strategies: rethink, reduce, repair, reuse, repurpose, or recycle.

The call targets companies that want to develop research, development, and innovation projects aimed at reducing dependence on critical raw materials and strengthening European strategic autonomy.

Selected projects may access support from the IPCEI Fund after the national and European evaluation process, including European Commission assessment.

The IPCEI Circular Advanced Materials project is focused on developing and first industrial deployment of circular advanced materials.

Projects should reduce the use of hazardous substances, critical raw materials, and rare materials while improving traceability, reuse, and recycling.

Projects that pass the Ministry’s preliminary assessment will enter European partnership matchmaking.

The European Commission favors initiatives requesting at least 50 million euro in state aid.
