NASA satellite repair robot in space
Restore-L robot has the ability to maintain, repair and upgrade satellites operating on low orbit around the Earth, expected to operate from 2020.
The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to launch Restore-L robots into orbit in the summer of 2020. It is a robot capable of maintaining, repairing and upgrading satellites operating on low orbit Earth.
Special algorithms and control devices allow Restore-L to reach the target. Its flexible machine arms will connect to the satellite and perform the order-fixing process sent from the ground.
Restore-L fabrication project costs about 127 million USD. It is expected to help extend the life and stability of satellites around the Earth.
