Context:
OrbitAID Aerospace is a 100% Indian space-startup that successfully tested its patented Standard Interface for Docking and Refuelling at zero-gravity flight in Florida.
Key Highlights:
- It testifies SIDRP’s capability in the recognition of on-orbit satellite servicing docking with space refueling and proximity operations under simulated space conditions.
- The test further validates SIDRP’s potential in redefining satellite operations and thus increasing the lifetime of satellites while reducing space debris.
Zero-gravity tests
Zero-gravity tests are experiments that enhance the effects of zero gravity on Earth to support space research and development.
OrbitAID
OrbitAID is India’s first indigenous company for OOS. it develops in-orbit refueling technology for the satellite’s life extension and build orbital fuel stations in space. The main focus is on “On-Orbit Refueling” of satellites.
