Androgynous modular connectors (e.g., modular spacecraft connectors) are disclosed herein. The modular connectors can include prismatic-shaped body with side panels, a base, and a face panel. The face panel can include three or more sides that define an opening. A claw assembly can be housed within the prismatic-shaped body. The claw assembly can include two or more extendable arms. A motor can be housed within the prismatic-shaped body. The motor can be operatively connected to the claw assembly. The motor can be configured to extend and retract the claw assembly.
