Massive backlash. The announcement that Astroscale Ltd, which is a British consolidated subsidiary, has obtained a COSMIC Phase 2 contract with the British Space Agency (UKSA) was well received, and there was a big backlash. The contract amount is 1.95 million British pounds (excluding tax, approximately 0.36 billion yen). COSMIC is a British debris removal program that removes 2 British satellites that exist in low orbit and have ceased operation. The company group positions COSMIC as an important project for developing existing debris removal services that will continue in the future.
