SCOUT will launch a SCOUT-Vision payload on Orbit Fab’s Tanker-001 Tenzing fuel depot, scheduled to ride to orbit aboard a Spaceflight Inc. Sherpaorbital transfer vehicle (OTV) on an upcoming SpaceX Falcon 9 mission later this year.

“The Orbit Fab in-orbit propellant supply chain will be essential for SCOUT’s small spacecraft that extend satellite lifetimes, prevent orbital debris, and keep space secure through data gathered from in-orbit inspections.” This will be the first commercial demonstration of close-range (1-2 km) in-orbit inspection.
