“Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed technology to stiffen deployable structures on spacecraft, enabling autonomous spacecraft docking operations. SwRI is currently integrating the Parallelogram Synchronized Truss Assembly (PaSTA) technology with solar arrays on the Astroscale U.S. Refueler spacecraft. The team is also designing two different deployable booms using PaSTA technology for another spacecraft SwRI is developing.”

“The Astroscale U.S. Refueler, a 300-kilogram spacecraft, will be the first to conduct hydrazine refueling operations above geostationary orbit for the United States Space Force (USSF) and will be the first-ever on-orbit refueling mission supporting a U.S. Department of War asset.”

“If you have ever felt the frustration of trying to re-stick a used sticky note, you will understand the challenge of reversible adhesion. Adhesives that can strongly bond to surfaces, be peeled off, and then reused are in high demand for industrial applications.
Unfortunately, the strong bonds formed by conventional adhesives are permanent, such that these adhesives cannot be reused. But now, in a study published in Advanced Materials, researchers at The University of Osaka report the invention of a new polymeric adhesive that can be reused repeatedly.”
