Astroscale Ltd, the UK subsidiary of Astroscale Holdings Inc., has appointed four industry leaders to its newly formed UK Advisory Board to support its growth in satellite servicing and orbital sustainability across the UK and Europe.

The new board members include Richard Franklin, a specialist in defence and aerospace; Rachel Gardner-Poole, an expert in aviation and aerospace; Ian Annett, a leader in telecommunications and space; and Stuart Martin, a respected strategist in the space sector.

The appointments come as Astroscale continues to expand its footprint in the UK and Europe, focusing on satellite servicing and addressing the growing issue of space debris.
