I highly doubt it. Fun looking animation tho.
Looks neat, although I do have a lot of questions on the specifics, mainly what kind of fuel are they working with? Is it cryogenic propellant transfer or something like transferring xenon or argon? How large is it? How much propellant did it transfer and how much?
> To refuel another satellite, the Hukeda-2 would have to dock precisely with a port as both satellites hurtled around Earth at about 27,000km/h (16,800mph), a major challenge that the developers likened to “threading a needle in space”.
Yes but the relative velocities are way less and motions are predictable. I hate these comments because yes space is hard but they try to imply something here which is not true.
