Orbital servicing of space platformsNASA-MSFC is planning systems for the orbital servicing and maintenance of large geosynchronous platforms. The goal is to devise methods to maintain, update, and/or replace the basic spacecraft housekeeping equipment as well as the onboard mission equipment. The planning has passed through the feasibility demonstration level. A hard engineering test unit of such an on-orbit servicing system, complete with control system, is being tested and evaluated by MSFC.
