In-Orbit Servicing & Manufacturing (OSAM)
Robotic systems for building and repairing infrastructure in space.
OSAM technologies enable satellites to be refueled, repaired, or upgraded in orbit, extending their lifespans. Furthermore, it paves the way for manufacturing large structures (like antennas or solar arrays) directly in space, overcoming the size constraints of launch vehicle fairings.
