COMMERCIAL SPACE AT RISK IMPACT ON OPERATORS Avoidance maneuvers increase in frequency; More than 6000 satellites are Proper decommissioning wastes orbiting around the Earth an amount of onboard propellant that would otherwise be used to Only 900 satellites are fully extend the satellite mission in operating. The others fly orbit; uncontrolled at about 30,000 km/h, Service life estimation and at risk of collision with other decommissioning operations are spacecrafts or falling down into our complex activities; planet. Monitoring dead satellites will soon The risk of collision in orbit is be another activity charged to increasing exponentially (doubled satellite operators. in the last 3 years). Only few satellites are LESS PROPELLANT = LESS REVENUES decommissioned according to international guidelines. 8

STRATEGY As of today, going into Space to clean space junk is neither economically convenient nor effective. High technological B$ spacecrafts ’ theoretical target is to clean up to 10 satellites per year. Market demand foresees more than 100 new satellites per year (1200 in the next 8 years). BASIC SPACE STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES STEPS: Stop increasing the Make it economically viable; Remove the junk concentration that is already there. of defunct objects in space; D-Orbit offers to satellite operators the most convenient solution to drastically reduce liabilities and costs and at the same time increase revenues. D-Orbit makes possible a clean and sound access to Space 9

DECOMMISSIONING DEVICES Unique and patent pending smart Independent from the Safe, controlled and quick propulsive device, easy to install satellite, it may works even if decommissioning (few hours) before launch the satellite does not both for LEO and GEO satellites 11

Strong master PATENT covering the use of decommissioning device in space and all its sub-units In January 2014 D-Orbit patent application was filed in 11 countries worldwide 13 13

ADVANTAGES for Operators Increased mission time Zero impact costs Controlled re-orbit Backup thruster Stress-free decommissioning 15 15 * C. Wiedemann , “Analyzing costs of space debris mitigation methods” and K.K. Galabova , MIT, “Economic case for the retirement of geosynchronous communication satellites via space tugs”

“Thus, operators can extract full useful life from their satellite and still be able to safely “clean up their mess” at the end. The D-Orbit solution is clean, simple and relatively inexpensive. For a commercial operator its cost would likely be offset by reduction of liability insurance premiums.” Dr. Edward Cornet, former Booz Allen Hamilton partner 17 17

RECENT COMMERCIAL MILESTONES May 2014 FIRST LETTER OF INTENT by one of the two biggest satellite operators worldwide “[…] The parties express their wish, and share their interest, for assessing the possibility of integrating a d-Orbit device in satellite platform(s) to perform end of life re-orbiting. Both parties may convene on mutually-agreed milestones aimed at reaching intermediate critical design reviews with the aim to be able to have a d-Orbit device available by the end of 2015 such that it can be assessed against the other available re-orbiting techniques. […]” FIRST COOPERATION AGREEMENT by one of the biggest satellite manufacturer worldwide 18

REGULATIONS: UPDATE Today : You break it, you own it! Launching state (and consequently satellite owner) is liable for any damage produced by a satellite, dead or alive. IADC (international committee) guidelines force EVERY satellite to be decommissioned at end-of-life TODAY ALMOST ALL THE NATIONS WITH ACCESS TO SPACE HAVE A NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR SPACE DEBRIS MITIGATION OR APPLY INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES BY CONTRACT TO COME: compulsory back-up system for decommissioning (source: IADC) 20 20

GOALS • USE ISS AS AN ENABLING PLATFORM FOR TESTING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AT HIGH SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT • ACCELERATE THE ADOPTION OF THE TECHNOLOGY • CREATE WORLDWIDE AWARENESS ON SPACE SEGMENT BENEFITS AND SPACE DEBRIS THREAT • CLEAN AND SAFE ACCESS TO SPACE DELIVERING BENEFITS AND LOWERING COSTS 31

OUR RESPONSIBILITY Every profitable choice should be sustainable. Every responsibility should take care of who we care most. Clean and Safe Access to Space is our responsibility. 32
