NASA is building a robotic spacecraft refueling system, to prevent a Gravity-like orbital debris cascade
2014-02-13 15:30:00| Extremetech
NASA is preparing to take the next logical step after in-flight refueling between two aircraft -- robotic refueling of orbiting satellites. This could extend the lifetime of many satellites indefinitely, and could play a very important role in preventing a Gravity-like scenario, where fragments of a single satellite cause a cascade of debris that destroys almost every satellite in Earth orbit.
