Satellite Repair
Discusses satellite repair and its potential for profitable investment
- technicians commute from LEO to geosynchronous to perform repair work
and refueling
- lower initial equipment costs because parts don't have to be specified
with an MBTF greater than the life expectancy of the satellite
- lower insurance rates since successful operation is much more likely
with on-site repair possible
- reduced operating costs for satellites
- expand satellite communication facilities through refurbishment and
reconstruction of existing hardware
- new design options where final assembly and alignment is performed
on-site by skilled workers
This subject has recently been discussed in trade journals and is under
investigation by NASA and other companies.
