Air, land, and sea vehicles are routinely serviced to increase their availability, flexibility, capability, and life span. Servicing could extend the same benefits to satellites, but is rarely employed because current methods are cost effective only for very expensive satellites. This paper presents a concept to minimize the cost of satellite servicing. It combines requirements for a next-generation of serviceable satellites, with an infrastructure whose cost can be amortized over many servicing missions. This should make servicing cost effective for a wider range of spacecraft.
