SSL wycofał sie z projektu z powodów finansowych i biznesowych.
Dla kontynuowania projektu potrzebny jest nowy inwestor.

Maxar’s exit from DARPA satellite servicing program a cautionary tale
by Sandra Erwin — January 30, 2019

Former RSGS program manager Gordon Roesler: ”The RSGS capability is so revolutionary, the nation really needs to find a way to get it on orbit."

(...) In just two years since the deal was signed, the business climate has changed, Roesler noted. SSL was producing six to eight GEO satellites a year; now it’s divesting the business.  “They were going to fund this out of their operating capital.” The calculus was that the company would finance the project for several years and recoup the investment from on-orbit operations. Roesler had estimated it would take about three to five years of on-orbit repair work to recover the upfront investment. But that was before the GEO downturn.(...)

James Vedda, senior policy analyst at the Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Space Policy and Strategy, said the RSGS setback should not be read “as an indictment of satellite servicing.” SSL has been in a financial slump for some time, he said, “even though its GEO satellites are very highly regarded.” The company is trying to sell off its GEO satellite manufacturing division due to disappointing revenue. Satellite servicing won’t be a profitable business line for a while, Vedda said, “so this may be part of a bigger rethinking of the business plan rather than a rejection of satellite servicing as a viable business endeavor.” (...)

Nowy partner może zostać wybrany jeszcze przed końcem roku

DARPA’s satellite servicing robot to get another shot
by Sandra Erwin — July 28, 2019

(...) DARPA invited interested contractors to a briefing in May and solicited new proposals, which were due July 23. The agency might select a new partner by the end of the year, Parrish said. But to avoid a repeat of what happened with Maxar, DARPA wants to make sure the bids are solid, he said. “DARPA is not obligated to make a selection,” he said. “If we find one or more viable contenders, we will select one and initiate contract negotiations. We want to have a partner on contract, we hope, before the end of the year.” (...)

The announcement comes on the heels of Northrop Grumman’s successful operation of its first satellite servicing Mission Extension Vehicle.

WASHINGTON — The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency selected Northrop Grumman as its commercial partner for the Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites program, the company announced March 4.

The announcement comes on the heels of Northrop Grumman’s successful operation of its first satellite servicing Mission Extension Vehicle. The MEV-1 launched in October 2019 and last month docked in-orbit with an Intelsat communications satellite in an effort to keep the spacecraft in operation for an additional five years. (...)
