Non-Propulsive Payload Deployment for Efficient On-Orbit Servicing of Mega-Constellations
A non-propulsive payload deployment architecture ejects micro-spacecraft that autonomously rendezvous with targets, reducing propellant consumption for mega-constellation servicing to less than 1/50 of conventional methods.
