NASA’s Gas Station in Space: The Future of Orbital Refueling
Imagine a gas station in space — not science fiction, but a reality in the making. Orbit Fab, a U.S. startup, is pioneering this concept with its Gas Stations in Space™ initiative. Their technology, including the Rapidly Attachable Fluid Transfer Interface (RAFTI), enables satellites to refuel in orbit, extending their operational life and reducing space debris.
NASA is also advancing in-space refueling through its Robotic Refueling Mission, demonstrating the ability to transfer fuel between spacecraft using robotic systems.
These innovations mark a significant shift in space operations, making missions more sustainable and cost-effective.
🚀 Refueling in space is no longer a dream — it's the next step in our journey beyond Earth.
