The invention relates to a connector device for replenishing gas and liquid on the orbit. The connector device is used for replenishing gas and liquid for a target satellite by a service satellite on the orbit. The connector device comprises an active mechanism and a passive mechanism. The service satellite and the target satellite are positioned and conveniently separated through guide devices on respective butt-joint surfaces of the active mechanism and the passive mechanism, the service satellite and the target satellite are caused to move relative to each other through a drive mechanism having the axial spacing function, and the service satellite and the target satellite are locked through a positioning locking structure, so that the service satellite and the target satellite are guaranteed to be at fixed positions relative to each other in the on-orbit gas-liquid replenishing process. Through the measures, the efficiency of the on-orbit gas-liquid replenishing process is improved, and the safety of the on-orbit gas-liquid replenishing process is guaranteed.
