MEV 1: The World’s First Commercial On-Orbit Servicing Mission
Day: Tuesday 13 October
Time: 17:50 – 18:20 CEST
With a successful docking on February 25, 2020, MEV-1 achieved history when it successfully docked with the Intelsat IS-901 satellite near GEO orbit to begin a 5 year life extension service. This historic achievement is the culmination of more than 10 years of business, technical, and regulatory developments. This lecture will review this history, illustrate the climactic event of the first commercial docking between two satellites, and explore what it means for the future.
