Spacecraft rely on essential resources like propellant and coolant to carry out vital functions such as maneuvering and maintaining critical equipment. However, these consumables have a limited lifespan and eventually deplete. The current absence of technology to replenish these vital supplies in space poses a significant challenge. Nevertheless, NASA's Robotic Refueling Mission 3 (RRM3) is set to revolutionize this paradigm by pushing the boundaries of satellite servicing capabilities. This groundbreaking mission will not only address the issue of consumable scarcity but also pave the way for long-duration and deep space exploration.
