Robotic Assembly Demonstration
On April 29th, 2024, Arkisys Demonstrated to the US Space Force the final milestone on our 15 month Phase II SBIR contract. The ability to manipulate and reconfigure spacecraft on-orbit to upgrade their capabilities after the fact is something of great tactical interest to the US Space Force. As a dual use technology, this capability is extremely valuable to the commercial space industry to enable plug-and-play technologies and rapid on-orbit R&D.
​
This technology, being developed by Arkisys, will enable the manufacturing of custom spacecraft on-demand in orbit in a matter of days, if not hours, using components stored in our orbital depot. By demonstrating this using our ground robotics testbed, Arkisys is bringing this concept one step closer to reality.
​
Arkisys has demonstrated the first steps to realizing this in orbit, with more updates coming this Summer. Stay tuned!
