NASA | Teaming Up to Test the Future of Satellite Refueling

The video discusses the potential of refueling satellites in orbit to extend their lifespan and support various missions, including scientific, weather, and communication. It highlights a technology development test where a robot was remotely controlled to transfer hazardous fluid, simulating a refueling task. The collaboration between Kennedy Space Center and Goddard is emphasized, along with future plans for complete end-to-end refueling tests.

Explain the role of the robot operator during the refueling test.

What lessons are expected to be learned from the recent refueling test?
