In-space refueling
Topic
In-space refueling is the process of replenishing propellants and other consumables on board satellites, spacecraft, or orbital depots while in orbit. This technology extends the operational lifespan of space missions, enables dynamic orbital maneuvers, and supports deep-space exploration by reducing the initial launch mass required from Earth.
