USSF-23 (Provisioner & Others)

Built upon Impulse Space's Mira orbital transfer vehicle, Orbit Fab's fuel depot will be used to refuel Astroscale's Provisioner spacecraft after it has refueled one of the Tetra-5 satellites launching on USSF-43.

Starfish Space's Otter Servicing Vehicle is a small autonomous spacecraft designed to dock with and maneuver satellites in orbit. Otter is intended to dock with an unprepared satellite that was not originally designed for servicing. The spacecraft will perform a a two-year demonstration docking with a non-operational vehicle that will be moved to a disposable orbit.

Provisioner, the Astroscale U.S. Refueler, will conduct the first-ever refueling of a United States Space Force (USSF) asset. This mission will demonstrate the ability of commercial Servicing, Mobility and Logistics providers to deliver on-orbit capabilities supporting the warfighter. Designed for maneuverability, the 300-kilogram spacecraft will carry a refillable hydrazine tank, supporting refueling for a client spacecraft and enabling an end-to-end refueling ecosystem with a client, servicer and depot in space. For this mission, Provisioner will refuel one of the Tetra-5 satellites launching on USSF-43, then be refueled by Orbit Fab's Fuel Depot, and then refuel the other Tetra-5 satellite.
