GITAI Completes Flight Model of S3 Robotic Satellite for On-Orbit Servicing Demonstration Mission

▤ Summary

GITAI completed the flight model for its S3 robotic satellite mission, which is built to demonstrate on-orbit servicing technologies. The mission uses an autonomous robotic arm, rendezvous and docking systems, and proprietary vision software to support satellite life-extension, relocation, and controlled de-orbit operations. GITAI also says the spacecraft bus uses a modular architecture that can support defense, communications, and observation missions. The company has deferred the S3 launch until after 2028 so it can prioritize its U.S. Space Force Space-Based Interceptor program.
