A new space robot, the MRV, just launched on a mission to rescue aging satellites by attaching jetpacks to keep them flying for years longer—saving millions and extending critical tech in orbit. With two arms and a minivan-sized frame, it’s targeting satellites at 22,300 miles up, where hundreds already orbit. Northrop Grumman, with past success in satellite servicing, is also eyeing future upgrades like repairs and debris removal, backed by DARPA and the Navy. Meanwhile, Katalyst’s Link is still tweaking software before it can save NASA’s Swift Observatory, which studies deadly gamma ray bursts—NASA’s paying $30 million to keep it aloft.
