Northrop Grumman MEV-2 docks again for Satellite life-extension services
Northrop Grumman is claiming it has made history with the Docking of a second “Mission Extension Vehicle” to extend the life of an Intelsat satellite.
Both the companies suggest the successful docking paves the way for future on-orbit and life-extension services.
Northrop Grumman (via its wholly-owned subsidiary, SpaceLogistics LLC) completed the docking of the Mission Extension Vehicle-2 (MEV-2) to the Intelsat 10-02 (IS-10-02), a commercial communications satellite, on 12 April.
The company states that it is the only provider of “flight-proven” life extension services for satellites. This is the second time the company has docked two commercial spacecraft in orbit. The company’s MEV-1 successfully docked to the Intelsat 901 (IS-901) satellite in February 2020.
ESA looks to open up in-space servicing market
The European Space Agency (ESA) is anticipating a new era of in-space servicing activities to prolong mission lifetimes, such as refuelling, refurbishment, assembly, manufacturing, and recycling.
The agency has begun soliciting ideas for In-Orbit Servicing activities from European industry and academia.
A first stage ‘request for information’ has been posted on ESA’s Open Space Innovation Platform. Respondents are invited to propose both a servicer spacecraft concept and identify a customer to be serviced, with the aim of putting the concept forward for ESA’s next Ministerial Council in 2022.
The ESA’s Director General, Josef Aschbacher, stresses “the need to address the management of assets in space with a sustainability mind-set – financial and environmental.”
