GRASP Global, now merged with AirPhoton to form GRASP Earth, is a company focused on Earth observation, particularly in monitoring air pollution and climate change. They develop and deploy spaceborne cubesats, ground instruments, and advanced algorithms, including the GRASP algorithm, to provide data and analytics related to atmospheric conditions. GRASP Earth aims to provide services to international space agencies and commercial entities, with a constellation of cubesats planned for detailed Earth observations. Their major product is the "Public GRASP Products Catalogue" which offers remote sensing products derived from satellite data.

The 2028 ASTRAL mission aims to validate the RAFTI port and Orbit Fab’s GRASP docking interface using xenon propellant.
The European Space Agency robotic-arm project GRASP stands for Gecko Rendezvous Autonomous System and Pincher.
GRASP was inspired by the microscopic hairs on geckos and was developing dry adhesives for astronauts to grip things in space.
The gripping technology is intended to securely grasp domestic satellites under various situations that may arise in geostationary orbit, including limited prior information and unintended movements after grasping.
The robotic system includes grippers that can bend and grasp various objects ranging from a highlighter pen to a tomato.
ASTRAL is planned to carry out an in-orbit experiment by 2028 to validate Orbit Fab's RAFTI and GRASP refuelling interfaces.
Orbit Fab's ASTRAL project will validate the company’s RAFTI and GRASP refueling interfaces.
The ASTRAL consortium will use Orbit Fab’s GRASP interface to dock with a target spacecraft on orbit.
