Astroscale to test multi-satellite inspection with ISSA-J1 in 2027

TL;DR Summary
Astroscale Japan announced ISSA-J1, a private mission planned for 2027 to rendezvous with and inspect two defunct satellites in separate orbits—ALOS (launched 2006) and ADEOS-II (launched 2002)—using proximity operations and imaging to diagnose failures and demonstrate multi-object on-orbit inspection, following ADRAS-J and paving the way for future on-orbit servicing and debris-removal missions such as ELSA-M.
