Welcome to NASA’s Exploration & In-space Services
Ushering in an era of more sustainable, affordable and resilient spaceflight near Earth, the Moon and deep into the solar system through in-space servicing and assembly

The OSAM-1 Mission

Meet OSAM-1 (short for On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1), a robotic spacecraft equipped with the tools and technologies needed to extend satellites' lifespans, and assemble and manufacture components in space.

The Robotic Servicing Arm

This robotic arm is ideally suited for missions requiring autonomous capture and dexterous operations — from grabbing a satellite for on-orbit servicing, to extracting a boulder from an spinning asteroid, to assembling and servicing a large telescope in orbit, or setting up worksites on Mars for astronauts.

If you are looking for the Satellite Servicing Projects Division (SSPD), you have come to the right place! We have recently changed our name to NExIS to reflect the expanded scope of our work, but are continuing to advance the state-of-the-art in servicing and beyond.

OSAM Resources

Robots are poised to make what was once thought to be impossible in space a reality. From extending the lifespan of satellites, to assembling massive life-seeking telescopes in space, to refueling and repairing spacecraft on journeys to distant locations, the possibilities are endless.
