Refueling Satellites with Robots!

Robotic refueling is challenging. Before a satellite leaves the ground, technicians fill its fuel tank through a valve that’s then triple-sealed and covered with a protective blanket designed never to be accessed again. RRM paves the way for a future robotic servicing mission by demonstrating that a remote-controlled robot can overcome these obstacles to service and refuel a satellite on orbit.

    What they do is …
    What they do is build mock ups and then submerge them in what is called a Neutral Buoyancy Tank. Here, microgravity is simulated. I think there is one at NASA Goddard or? nearby at the University of Maryland (not sure). xRabidRacoon is right. The pool is HUGE!!!

    Unfortunately being …
    Unfortunately being an Astronaut isn’t really something you could study for in University yet. NASA simply picks different experts depending on the tests they want performed in the ISS and trains them for their mission. iirc though, NASA gets 3000 applications of qualified people every year for said missions, but they only need? 30 at most. So yeah, unless people could figure out a way of monetizing deep space I can’t see “Astronauts” being in demand anytime soon.

    I do that too. My grandmother relayed the fact once that before bar scanners, checkers had to memorize the pricing of every single item in the store. If that were an option, I think I? would go for that, I’m sure it would be faster that self checkout and way more entertaining.

    Clever. I’m glad you chose to behave in? an antisocial and self important way here on this public forum first, I was about to do just that in response to this easily understandable comment by m7mds91. I will respond to any further posts from you via facial expression, don’t think I’m ignoring them. Good day.

    I think it’s becoming a global thing. I live in Britain and when I go to the super market, I get my items? checked out by self serving machines. Crazy thing is that I never even really pay attention to any of the humans that could serve me, because the machines are probably faster.
