Robots Repairing Satellites in Orbit | Science News

Space is getting smarter—and more repairable. After a botched launch, NASA’s Swift telescope may be saved by a robotic rescue mission called LINK, while Northrop Grumman’s MRV spacecraft is already upgrading a satellite 22,000 miles up with a new thruster. These robotic fixes are replacing risky astronaut missions and could soon evolve into building entire spacecraft in orbit—unlocking massive structures beyond rocket limits and turning space junk into a repairable frontier.
