Video: AIAA – On-Orbit Servicing Horizons

The servicing of satellites on-orbit has been a hot topic in recent years. From satellite inspection and supporting a spacecraft launched into the wrong orbit to active servicing tasks such as refueling or hardware replacement, spacecraft that can support on-orbit servicing tasks could give new life to otherwise inoperable spacecraft.
This panel will discuss the current state of on-orbit servicing and the near-term plans for such systems across the civil, defense, and commercial space sectors.

Moderator: Gregory P. Scott, Aerospace Engineer and Space Roboticist, Naval Research Laboratory
