A SINGAPORE-BASED startup seeking to develop affordable space debris removal services to enable safer, more sustainable satellite missions will be among 13 startups representing Singapore at this year's South by Southwest (SXSW) trade show next week in the US in Austin, Texas.

Astroscale, founded in 2013 by Japanese entrepreneur Nobu Okada, said it hopes to engage non-space, tech companies at the event and spread awareness of space environmental issues.
