KEPLER 13 // CONTACTLESS DEORBIT SYSTEM

Clearing the path forward
for Humanity's next steps.

The orbit is already broken.

9,000 tonnes. 130 million fragments.
The Kessler threshold is not a future event.

Right now, approximately 9,000 tonnes of human-made debris hurtles around Earth at 7.8 km/s. Every hypervelocity collision generates a debris cloud. Each fragment is now its own collision risk.

The 1967 Outer Space Treaty assigns ownership to the launching nation. No actor can touch another nation's debris without bilateral permission. The incentive to grant that permission is vanishingly weak.

THE SOLUTION

Kepler 13 // Two-stage deorbit system

Laser nudge pushes debris into the gas drag zone. Gas drag handles the mass removal. Two proven physics principles, working as one.

STAGE 01 // ALL ALTITUDES
Laser Nudge

A ground-based pulsed laser vaporises a tiny amount of debris surface — enough to push it into a lower orbit. Precision targeting without any physical contact, nudging objects into the gas drag zone.

~1 mm/s Δv per pass
STAGE 02 // 500–600 KM
Gas Drag

Xenon gas maintained at 500–600 km passively slows every piece of debris that enters the corridor. Once nudged in, objects spiral inward and burn up in the atmosphere. No contact. Thousands at once.

1,000+ objects per release

We are not inventing
a solution.

We are finally choosing to use
the one the planet already built.
