India's first ever satellite refueling mission in Feb 2027!
Chennai-based OrbitAID's AayulSAT-1 ('Aayul' means 'life' in Tamil) rode the doomed PSLV-C62 in January 2026 but could not complete its mission because of the launch failure.
OrbitAID is now set to redo the mission in early November 2026. It will fly on board SSLV-L1, the SSLV's first operational flight, and will demonstrate fuel and power transfer.
Following that, OrbitAID plans to launch AayulSAT-2A and 2B in February 2027 on board an Indian launch vehicle. This mission will demonstrate rendezvous, proximity operations, docking, refuelling, and power transfer in two scenarios:
1) Refueling a satellite fitted with OrbitAID's SIDRP refueling interface.
2) Acting as a 'jetpack' satellite for spacecraft that lack SIDRP.
AayulSAT-2A and 2B will weigh about 70 kg each and will be inserted into low Earth orbit. The two spacecraft will then distance themselves.
The chaser will then perform several maneuvers and dock with the target satellite using OrbitAID's proprietary ARCAS docking mechanism, which can attach to any satellite's standard Launch Adapter Ring (LAR).
Their SIDRP robotic arm will then be used to refuel the target. After that, the chaser will act as a jetpack, using its own propulsion system to perform orbital-adjustment maneuvers, raising itself to a higher orbit and bringing it back to the original orbit, thus completing the mission.
After a successful demonstration, OrbitAID will build scaled-up versions for refuelling and servicing missions for GEO satellites.
This could be a game changer for GEO satellites. It extends their operational life, reduces the fuel they need to carry on board (and therefore their mass), and can even rescue satellites that get stuck due to an engine or valve failure.

Chennai-based #OrbitAid is developing an autonomous LAR capture platform for GEO satellite life extension.
Przy okazji umowy #Lifterospace z #OrbitAID świetnie opisane techniczne zawiłości BOOSTERów i dużo wiadomości o samym Liftero 🦾
🇵🇱 🛰️ Polak, Hindus dwa bratanki? 😉 Kolejne silniki Liftero dla OrbitAID
Dynamika działań na LEO rośnie. Z tego powodu produkcja silników satelitarnych jest jednym z najbardziej obiecujących biznesów.
I polskie Liftero, dzięki zamówieniom z Indii, już z tego korzysta.
