Satellite Servicing

Satellite servicing refers to the practice of performing maintenance, repair, or enhancement tasks on satellites in orbit. This can involve various activities such as refueling, replacing components, upgrading technology, and extending the operational life of a satellite. Satellite servicing can be conducted by specialized robotic systems or by human astronauts during space missions. The goal of satellite servicing is to improve the functionality and longevity of satellites, reducing the need for new launches and thereby saving costs and resources associated with satellite deployment. This field has gained importance as the number of satellites in orbit increases, emphasizing the need for sustainable space operations and management.
