Northrop’s robot space mechanic is a new way to keep satellites at work longer
By Pradhyuman,
Think about how annoying it is to replace your phone just because the battery degraded. That is how we have treated million-dollar satellites for decades, letting them die the second they run out of fuel. Northrop Grumman is changing this with robotic space mechanics that attach new thrusters to old spacecraft. It is basically AAA for orbit. Honestly, it is about time we stopped treating space like a giant disposable junk drawer. Keep visiting to get more updates. Maintained by Pradhyuman.
