Northrop Grumman’s MEV-1 has made history by completing the first-ever undocking between two commercial satellites in geosynchronous orbit. After five years of extending Intelsat 901’s life, MEV-1 is now on a new servicing mission—ushering in a new era of sustainable, cost-effective space operations. This pioneering success proves that satellite servicing is not only possible but practical, with major implications for telecom, space debris reduction, and the entire orbital economy.
