The US Space Force is getting ready to launch two missions to test space gas stations.

The missions will include space refueling setups from companies like Orbit Fab , Astroscale , and Northrop Grumman .

The goal is to see if refueling satellites in space can survive as businesses, not just government-funded experiments.

If successful, it could extend satellite lifespans and cut down on the astronomical costs of launching replacements.
