LOXSAT is a NASA funded cryogenic fluid management demonstration satellite mission. Eta Space is building the payload.
It is scheduled to launch no earlier than July 2024 on a Rocket Lab Electron launch vehicle.
NASA critical design review is due 15 June 2022.
Mission objectives
LOXSAT aims to demonstrate on-orbit docking and cryogenic refueling operations using a cryogenic fluid transfer disconnect and latching mechanism developed for depot applications. It will also demonstrate repeated mating/de-mating and the transfer of liquid oxygen.
A LOXSAT2 mission is being defined.
LOXSAT1 will test technology for Eta's orbital depot "CryoDock".
