When a satellite breaks down, you can’t just call AAA. On-orbit servicing (OOS) enables inspections, repairs and technology upgrades for both military and commercial satellites — extending their service viability, reducing dangerous space debris and saving a galactic ton of money. Consider this: a military satellite in geostationary orbit can cost more than a billion dollars.

On-orbit ops/services lead to orbital sustainment — a more efficient, affordable operating environment for both the public and private sectors. Plus, the ability to install new payloads — such as upgraded communication or navigation systems for example — to existing satellites, supports their mission while, again, reducing costs and space clutter.

At TC Sessions: Space this year, we’ve tapped deeply experienced leaders in this field from LeoLabs, Maxar and Astroscale to share their expertise and discuss the current state of on-orbit ops.  Buy your pass today and get an insider’s look at on-orbit operations and servicing and so much more.
