摘要: An in-space servicing vehicle system (10) includes a spacecraft (22) and propellant module (24). The client (136) for (16) in space. also navigation avionics (108) independent flight operation tank (170). (24) moves the from an upper stage drop off location to proximate (21) of (16). (172) that has multiple spacecraft-servicing missions. separates operatively approaches docks with may serve as both have universal docking adaptor (70) couples converts non-cooperative cooperative.
