  1. Robotic Refueling Mission Overview Presented to the Future In-Space Operations Working Group August 3, 2011 Ben Reed, Deputy Project Manager | Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office Benjamin.b.reed@nasa.gov | 301.286.4755 | NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center | www.ssco.gsfc.nasa.gov

  2. SSCO Programmatic Objectives The Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is committed to: • Advancing the state of robotic servicing technology to enable the routine servicing of satellites that were not designed with servicing in mind. • Positioning the U.S. to be the global leader in in-space repair, maintenance and satellite disposal. • Helping to enable a future U.S. industry for the servicing of satellites.

  11. OverviewTask Board 1 (TB1) • FDV-1: Tertiary Cap Only (no wire) • Actuation Nut (no wire) • FDV-3: Safety Cap Only (no wire) • Actuation Nut (no wire) • Fastener Block – 2 captive, 4 in cage • SMA Adapter Stowage • Magnet Catch Plate for TB2 TPP MLI • SMA Map Decal • Marmon Clamp Section on Black/Gold Kapton Background • Mini Test Port Panel with • 9 SMA caps • Torque Set Adapter Stowage

  12. OverviewTask Board 2 (TB2) • FDV-4: Safety Cap Only (wired) • Actuation Nut (wired) • FDV-2: Tertiary Cap Only (wired) • Actuation Nut (wired) • Test Port Panel MLI Cover • Explosive Bolt Flange • HST Door Latch • HST J-Hook onSilver Teflon

  13. Looking forward • RRM helps us develop the tools, technologies and techniques for dexterous robotic on-orbit servicing. • Argon is our ground-based autonomous rendezvous and capture demonstration. • RRM and Argon are both required technologies for a free-flying robotic servicing mission. • We are studying such a mission, but that is a topic for another presentation…..
