China jumps ahead in the race to achieve a new kind of reuse in space
China has demonstrated a novel approach to in-space satellite reuse. The SJ-21 and SJ-25 satellites reportedly "merged" on July 2nd and have remained connected since. While details are scarce, this maneuver suggests a potential capability for in-orbit servicing, refueling, or even the creation of larger, more complex space structures. This development could significantly alter the landscape of space operations and resource management.
