NASA’s Exploration and In-Space Services (NExIS) Division OSAM-1 and Related Propellant Transfer Subsystem Progress through FY 2024 PresentationNASA’s Exploration and In-Space Services (NExIS) Division has been developing technologies for the on-orbit servicing of satellites for decades (Hubble servicing missions)

On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing mission 1 (OSAM-1) had plans to robotically refuel a heritage satellite on-orbit (a.k.a. non-cooperative)
Future plans of the OSAM-1 flight hardware will not be discussed

The OSAM-1 Space Infrastructure Dexterious Robot (SPIDER) payload is designed to assemble a 3-meter communications antenna

OSAM-1 Propellant Transfer Subsystem (PTS) development supports the nascent in-space refueling ISAM goals
Reference “National In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing Implementation Plan” (Dec 2022 from White House Office of Science and Technology Policy)

ISAM fluid transfer technology shortfalls still exist and are actively being addressed at NASA
