SRC conducts research into innovate ways to dispose of low orbit debris, otherwise known as space junk. For the last five years we have been experimenting with ground based lasers to disintegrate space junk. We lead the world in our R&D into safe, affordable space junk removal.
We are proud of our achievements and even more proud of our world-class R&D team. Some of these scientists, engineers and executives are profiled below.
SRC Head of Space Tracking
Dr Andrew Younge is SRC’s head of tracking technologies. Dr Younge is an astronomer with considerable expertise in the identification and tracking of space objects. He has served on R&D teams with NASA and the European Space Agency. Today, Dr Younge is in charge of tracking targets for potential disposal using the SRC high-energy laser system.

We are currently tracking over 500,000 pieces of debris in low orbit. Every piece of space junk is capable of destroying satellites that all of us rely upon daily.

SRC Lead Researcher
Dr Amanda Shorea is a physicist and lead researcher working at SRC. Her field of expertise is the application of ground based lasers for military effects operations. Dr Shorea has applied her military background to achieve kinetic effects against low orbit debris. Few people in the world share Dr Shorea’s background in the use of lasers for kinetic effects and SRC are proud to have her on staff, leading the R&D effort.

Space junk is going to become a major limitation to the advancement of 21st century communications. At SRC we are trying to solve this problem before the world becomes aware of it. Plus, I really like shooting things with megawatt lasers.

SRC Chief Executive Officer
Dr Vasily Grigoryevich is Satellite Research Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and founder. Dr Grigoryevich started SRC in 2010 in response to demands by international investors seeking solutions to low orbit space debris removal.
Dr Grigoryevich pioneered the use of high energy lasers to disintegrate small space debris using ground based tracking stations. His approach proved effective in solving the major challenge of independently tracking and hitting high speed objects in low earth orbit. This innovative approach is personified in the SRC logo, showing a laser coming from a ground based satellite tracking dish.

The problems SRC are trying to solve today are not known to the public. If we don’t do something about space junk removal now it will have a major impact on our advancement into space in the 21st century.
