The Orbital Express Space Operations System validated the technical feasibility of autonomous in-orbit refueling and the reconfiguration of satellites in support of a broad range of future US national security and commercial space programs. These functions provide extensive benefits to military and commercial space systems. Orbital Express can also support deployment and operations of micro-satellites for missions such as space asset protection and the deployment of nano-satellites. (DARPA)
