NASA shuts down $2B satellite refueling project due to technical and cost challenges
NASA has decided to shut down the On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1 (OSAM-1) project, a $2 billion satellite refueling program, due to ongoing cost and technical challenges. The decision was made after a thorough review of the project. NASA cited the lack of a committed partner and a shift away from refueling unprepared spacecraft by the broader community as additional reasons for the discontinuation of the project. The OSAM-1 project, which started in 2015, involved a collaboration between NASA and Maxar, as well as NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
