Research sheds light on the use of multiple cubes for service and repair missions within the space

Meets collision prevention constraints while meeting the optimal fuel trajectory of four service agents transporting modular components between the service vehicle and the target spacecraft. Credit: Journal of Space Flight Science (2024). doi:10.1007/s40295-024-00470-7 As more satellites, telescopes, and other spacecraft are built to be repairable, a reliable trajectory will be required for service spacecraft to reach safely. Researchers from the…
