Exotrail provides orbital services for small satellites, including "last mile" delivery (from payload integration to final orbit placement), satellite inspection, and end-of-life management. The company also develops flexible and powerful electric propulsion systems for satellites based on Hall-effect technology. In Exotrail's ion engine electrons emitted by the cathode are captured by a magnetic field and used to ionize the propellant, creating plasma in the discharge channel. The plasma is then accelerated to generate thrust by the electric field created between the anode and cathode. Hall-effect thrusters have been in use for decades and are installed on most large satellites. They combine the high impulse of an electric propulsion system with a very high thrust-to-power ratio.

ClearSpace provides services for maintenance and removal of malfunctioning satellites and other space debris from the Earth orbit. The company (in partnership with the European Space Agency) is preparing the ClearSpace-1 mission to demonstrate the ability to remove the inoperative PROBA-1 satellite from low-Earth orbit. For this it's developing the "Claw" grappling system, which includes a robotic arm for the dexterous manipulation and capture of fragile space objects and control algorithms that enable fully autonomous grappling sequences. Another mission, CLEAR (Clearing the LEO Environment with Active Removal), in partnership with the UK Space Agency, aims to remove two UK-registered defunct satellites from low-Earth orbit. The company is also developing its own space service, Geo Life Extension, to extend the life of satellites by restoring their functionality using semi-autonomous spacecraft.
