CBE+ Secures New Space Sector Work with Astroscale

Midlands Space Cluster member CBE+ has marked a significant step in its expansion into the space sector, securing new business with in-orbit servicing leader Astroscale. The project sees CBE+ applying its advanced precision engineering and surface treatment expertise to manufacture critical components for next-generation spacecraft, supporting missions focused on satellite servicing and orbital sustainability.

This milestone reflects CBE+’s growing capability and reputation in delivering space-qualified hardware, as well as the increasing role of Midlands-based manufacturers within the global space supply chain. The collaboration not only strengthens CBE+’s position in the rapidly emerging in-orbit servicing market, but also highlights the wider opportunity for regional companies to diversify into high-value space technologies.
