    Clickbaity title aside, this is a cool platform leading the way in commercial RPO and refueling(ish). A lot of companies talk about this type of mission, but Northrop is actually doing it. Good job by them.

    What a repulsive headline, it is amazing how fast the privatization of spaceflight made going to space seem lame.

    In April, MEV-1 successfully undocked from Intelsat 901, and a little more than a month later it rendezvoused with another client satellite in GEO.

    Huh, I don’t think I’d heard this. Neat that one vehicle can service multiple satellites. Looking forward to seeing what MRV can do.
