About Kall Morris Incorporated (KMI)
KEEPING SPACE CLEAR FOR ALL
Kall Morris Inc (KMI) /kAWlˈMor‧ris INK/ is an orbital debris research and solution development company focused on Active Debris Removal (ADR) for keeping space clear for all. With proprietary software, exclusive hardware, and critical partnerships, KMI aims for a commercially viable system for ADR of legacy assets: significant debris objects that are often unprepared, uncontrolled, and potentially unrecognizable.
Orbital debris is growing exponentially, threatening critical in-space infrastructure the world depends on. Debris can be basketball-sized objects capable of destroying a single satellite or massive rocket bodies that could set off cascading collisions of untrackable, lethal shards of debris.
Debris cannot be overcome if every piece of debris requires a collection spacecraft to deorbit with it. KMI has developed a system to allow our spacecraft to remain in orbit through multiple debris collections, creating the potential for economic, environmental, and physical benefits in orbit utilizing the previously dangerous debris.
KMI is dedicated to working with organizations, academics, governments, and all motivated people to eliminate orbital debris by delving deeper into the problem and innovating solutions to secure the safety of humankind in space and to better our way of life on Earth. Join us in #KeepingSpaceClearForAll
