On-orbit satellite servicing

On-orbit satellite servicing refers to refueling or repairing space satellites while in orbit.[1]

New commercial interest in on-orbit servicing of satellites is in large part due to the decreased costs of launching commercial satellites and the rise of low orbit, rather than geostationary, satellites for which servicing costs less.[2]
