During the test, a robotic arm fitted with a highly specialised tool transferred satellite oxidiser through the valve of a simulated spacecraft.
The test was operated remotely from Goddard and performed at Kennedy’s Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility.
The test simulated the refuelling of a spacecraft in orbit, a task tackled by the team since the launch of the Robotic Refuelling Mission demonstration to the International Space Station in 2011.
Radio wave weapon knocks out drone swarms
Probably. A radio-controlled drone cannot be completely shielded to RF, else you´d lose the ability to control it. The fibre optical cable removes...
