Following this critical milestone, engineers at Goddard can begin to integrate the mission’s servicing payload onto the bus and begin to test the integrated spacecraft in simulated space environments.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When integration and testing are complete, OSAM-1 will be ready to demonstrate robotic satellite servicing technologies in space. The OSAM-1 mission is planned to be the first to robotically refuel a spacecraft not designed for on-orbit servicing. The servicer will rendezvous with, grapple, and berth the government-owned Landsat 7 spacecraft, and then use a suite of tools to replenish its hydrazine fuel tank.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the mission’s servicing objectives, OSAM-1 will also include an assembly demonstration provided by commercial partner Maxar, the same company that provided the spacecraft bus. That demonstration will use a robotic arm from the Space Infrastructure Dexterous Robot (SPIDER) payload to assemble a functional Ka-band antenna on orbit from stowed hexagonal pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, the mission included a manufacturing demonstration called MakerSat, which planned to use the SPIDER arm to manufacture a beam. However, that component of the mission has been descoped as mission managers refocus resources on the servicing and assembly components of the mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The OSAM-1 project is managed by NASA Goddard for the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/tdm\/main\/index.html\"><em>Technology Demonstration Missions<\/em><\/a><em> (TDM) program office at NASA’s <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers\/marshall\/home\/index.html\"><em>Marshall Space Flight Center<\/em><\/a><em> in Huntsville, Alabama.
