On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing Demonstration-1 (OSAM-1)
Project Description
The Restore Mission will demonstrate refueling and a relocation of the Landsat 7 satellite. Restore-L will launch to a nominal (LEO) altitude of 680 km and conduct its on-orbit checkout. Landsat 7 will descend to a servicing altitude of 685 km and enter a stable, solar-inertial attitude. Restore-L will then use both ground-generated and on-board navigation solutions to rendezvous with Landsat 7 and perform an autonomous capture. After client capture, the assigned refueling tasks will be performed by ground operators. When all refueling tasks are complete, Restore-L will modify Landsat 7's orbit to demonstrate relocation capability then release the spacecraft and depart to its own transit orbit. SPIDER is a secondary payload which will engage upon completion of Restore activities. SPIDER will demonstrate the autonomous robotic build of a reflector in space and the autonomous robotic manufacture of a structural beam.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Restore advances robotic satellite servicing technologies to operational status, including refuel, repair, and orbit modification services to satellites in LEO. SPIDER will advance in space manufacturing and assembly capabilities in space.
