Background and Need The United States Space Force (USSF), Space Systems Command, Servicing, Mobility, and Logistics (SSC/SYD80) Program Office, is seeking information on technical concepts and approaches to Refueling Services for prepared clients in orbit. As an enabling technology for the Sustained Space Maneuver need of U.S. Space Command, on-orbit servicing, including refueling, is a vital capability to support warfighter needs. Space System Command’s System Engineering Review Board (SERB) has already approved two standard interfaces for satellite refueling – Northrop Grumman’s Passive Refueling Module (PRM) and Orbit Fab’s Rapidly Attachable Fluid Transfer Interface (RAFTI). Industry solutions for refueling of National Security Space assets equipped with these SERB-approved interfaces are sought to meet sustained space maneuver (SSM) needs by 2030. SSC/SYD80 requests feedback from industry intending to provide services. Please review the RFI attachment and respond to the questions if interested in this notice.
