Description
We need new missions to be smarter and innovative in order to counteract and better manage the future in space to tackle the growing population of satellites. We have to do On-Orbit Servicing: it’s a way of directly managing satellites while they are operating in space. In order to better enable these new advanced operations in space like refuelling or upgrading, this requires satellites, from now on, to be prepared with specific interfaces and grapples fixtures. Thales Alenia Space is working towards developing the next generation of servicing vehicle to perform these robotic operations.
