SATELLITE ALMOST ON EMPTY GETS NEW LIFE AFTER SPACE DOCKING
Techlife News
|February 29, 2020
A communication satellite almost out of fuel has gotten a new life after the first space docking of its kind.
-
Northrop Grumman and Intelsat announced the successful link-up nearly 22,500 miles (36,000 kilometers) above Earth on Wednesday. It’s the first time two commercial satellites have joined in orbit like this.
The recently launched satellite — Northrop Grumman’s Mission Extension Vehicle, or MEV-1 — will serve as a guide dog of sorts for its aging Intelsat companion.
Company officials called it a historic moment for space commerce, akin to the three spacewalkers capture of a wayward Intelsat satellite 28 years ago.
