OSAM-1 (On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1)

Update on Status of NASA’s OSAM-1 Project

Following an in-depth, independent project review, NASA has decided to discontinue the On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1 (OSAM-1) project due to continued technical, cost, and schedule challenges, and a broader community evolution away from refueling unprepared spacecraft, which has led to a lack of a committed partner.
