Hyderabad-based spacetech startup building robotic spacecraft for active debris removal and satellite deorbiting.
Cosmoserve Space is a Hyderabad-based spacetech company developing autonomous robotic spacecraft for active debris removal (ADR) and end-of-life satellite servicing. The company's spacecraft are designed to rendezvous with non-operational satellites and orbital debris, capture them, and deorbit them to reduce collision risk in crowded orbits.
The company operates "Base 1," a private facility in the VSD Tech Park, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, which includes an orbital rendezvous and capture lab, an ISO Class 8 clean room, a mission control centre, and a microgravity simulation platform for designing and testing debris-removal and satellite-servicing missions. Cosmoserve has said it holds letters of intent from satellite operators in the US, Europe, and India, and targets commercial service by 2028.
Cosmoserve Space was founded in 2025 by Dr. Chiranjeevi Phanindra B, a former ISRO scientist who served as Deputy Project Director on India's Gaganyaan human spaceflight programme. The company has raised a $3.17 million pre-seed round in September 2025 and a $6 million seed round in November 2026, bringing total disclosed funding to over $9 million.
