Three Robots, Three Jobs: How OSAM-1, RSGS and a Walking Robot Concept Divide Up Space
The field of in-orbit servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) is specializing into distinct robotic roles, moving away from general-purpose designs. Three key systems—OSAM-1 for refueling, RSGS for geosynchronous servicing, and a walking robot concept for large-scale assembly—highlight this division and its strategic implications for future space operations.
