  • After the storage test, Spaceium plans to transfer cryogenic fuel into a Space Machines spacecraft tank.
  • The mission is intended to advance reusable on-orbit servicing and mobility infrastructure.

Spaceium builds automated infrastructure for in-space refueling and repair. Its planned service stations store propellant and use a modular robotic arm to grapple customer spacecraft, align transfer connections and exchange tools or hardware.
