In-Orbit Servicing
In-Orbit Servicing refers to the technology and processes used to repair, refuel, or upgrade satellites while they are in space. This capability allows for the extension of a satellite's operational life and can reduce the need for launching new satellites.
By using robotic systems and specialized spacecraft, In-Orbit Servicing can address issues like malfunctioning components or depleted fuel. This innovation not only enhances the efficiency of space operations but also contributes to sustainability by minimizing space debris and maximizing the use of existing assets in orbit.
