NASA develops refueling satellite

The RRM mission aims to extend the lifespan of over 400 geostationary satellites by refueling and performing maintenance tasks. Currently tested on the International Space Station, RRM will approach satellites in orbit to refuel them and execute other functions like clipping wires and unscrewing caps.

What is the primary goal of the RRM mission?

• To launch new satellites

• To build a new space station

• To explore Mars

• To extend the lifetime of geostationary satellites

Where is the RRM currently being tested?

• In a laboratory on Earth

• On the Moon

• On the International Space Station

• In a geostationary orbit

What will RRM be able to do once launched?

• Communicate with Earth

• Launch new satellites

• Monitor weather patterns

• Approach and refuel geostationary satellites

Which of the following is a function performed by RRM?

• Transmitting data to Earth

• Monitoring space debris

• Clipping wires
