Robotic hardware and servicing missions that help satellite operators repair and extend the life of satellites and help space agencies drill and collect samples on planetary missions.
On-orbit servicing and planetary-robotics products
Recent coverage shows a shift: NASA has backed MTI Partner Unleashed Robotics’ next‑generation Mars drilling work, and TechCrunch highlights Northrop’s robot space mechanic as a new way to keep satellites working longer. Those publicly funded and industry moves suggest practical markets for that work are emerging now.
