Satellite and Space Communication Technology

Orbital Sustainability and In-Orbit Servicing (IOS) are critical components of modern space operations aimed at ensuring the long-term usability of Earth's orbital environment. Orbital sustainability involves responsible practices to prevent space debris generation, minimize collision risks, and maintain the safety and functionality of active satellites. In-Orbit Servicing (IOS) complements this by enabling spacecraft to be repaired, refueled, upgraded, or repositioned while still in orbit, thereby extending their operational lifespan and reducing the need for replacement launches. Together, these strategies promote efficient use of space assets, reduce environmental impact in space, and support a more sustainable and economically viable space ecosystem for future generations.
