First Mission in 2026

The Otter spacecraft will collect data on each satellite, including rotation speed, axis information, and surface material status. Otter, which will be used as part of the SSPICY mission, is designed to perform a variety of functions, including rendezvous, docking, servicing, or deorbiting satellites. The spacecraft’s first commercial mission will take place in 2026, when it will launch to service Intelsat satellites. This commercial space debris inspection mission is the first for NASA, aiming to reduce space debris and extend the life of satellites.
