Orbit Fab: Refueling Satellites With Space Gas Stations
Orbit Fab has developed what are essentially Gas Stations in Space™. Its refueling service uses reusable fuel shuttles to ferry fuel from storage depots directly to spacecraft. With so many variables in space and among the different systems, Orbit Fab uses simulation to test its interfaces. “Ansys really helps us do that analysis upfront to understand if our mechanism will work,” says Kevin Smith, chief engineer at Orbit Fab.
