LOXSAT is a NASA funded cryogenic fluid management demonstration satellite mission. Eta Space are building the payload.
It is planned to launch in late 2023 on a Rocket Lab Electron launcher.
- Mission objectives
To demonstrate on-orbit docking and cryogenic refueling operations using a cryogenic fluid transfer disconnect and latching mechanism developed for depot applications. Also to demonstrate repeated mating/de-mating and the transfer of liquid oxygen.
A LOXSAT 2 mission is being defined.
