NASA has awarded Maxar an estimated $142 million contract to demonstrate in-orbit spacecraft refueling and assembly of new components using a custom robotic platform in space.
The space infrastructure dexterous robot, or SPIDER, program will be part of NASA’s Restore-L mission to demonstrate automation of proposed orbital tasks like reconfiguring or repairing a satellite or manufacturing new components from scratch.
The first thing the Restore-L spacecraft will do is show that it can synchronize with, capture, connect with, refuel a satellite in orbit, then release it into a new orbit. Afterwards the craft will use a Maxar-built robotic arm to assemble a multi-panel antenna reflector, then test it.
Last, a separate piece of hardware, Tethers Unlimited’s MakerSat, will extrude a beam some 10-20 meters long, which will be inspected by the parent satellite, then detached and reattached to demonstrate its robustness.
There’s no hard timeline for the mission yet, so don’t expect anything for at least a year or two. This isn’t a small-scale experiment that can fly up next week in an Electron — it’s a big, expensive one that will likely take up most of a large rocket’s payload.
Although it’s only a demonstration, a Maxar representative pointed out that it is very close to what would be an operational system on other satellites in the future. It has also been previously demoed on the ground, though of course that’s no substitute for the real thing.
Robotic arms are something of a specialty for Maxar, which has delivered six total for NASA, including the one on Insight (currently on the Red Planet) and the Mars 2020 Rover (due to receive its official, inspirational name any day now).
We’ll have Maxar’s head of space robotics on stage at TC Sessions: Robotics+AI in March at UC Berkeley, so be sure to join us there if you’d like to hear more about the business of building space robots.
As expected, NASA has announced the official end of its Spitzer Space Telescope. The spacecraft was in operation for more than 16 years, helping scientists learn about our own Solar System, as well as the surrounding galaxy and the wider universe beyond it. On January 30, Spitzer Project Manager Joseph Hunt announced that the mission is officially over; mission engineers … Continue reading
