Lockheed Martin's in-orbit satellite servicing tech achieves success.

TL;DR
Lockheed Martin's Linuss experiment, consisting of two cubesats, successfully demonstrated AI algorithms needed for in-orbit servicing operations. The company plans to develop servicing vehicles for commercial and government markets, including in-orbit refueling and software upgrades. The experiment also tested space domain awareness cameras and a docking device for refueling or attaching new sensors. Lockheed Martin is funding several space projects to transition to defense and civil space government programs, including a mid-size bus, Pony Express 2 and TacSat satellites, and a lunar orbit service called Parsec.
