Engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, perform a fit check of RRM3’s three external tools. After RRM3 is installed to the outside of the International Space Station the Dextre robotic arm will mount the pedestal and tools, pre-assembled by astronauts on the space station. NASA’s Robotic Refueling Mission 3 (RRM3) builds on the first two phases of International Space Station technology demonstrations that tested tools, technologies and techniques to refuel and repair satellites in orbit. RRM3 will demonstrate cutting-edge technologies to store and transfer liquid methane in space. Once proven, the methods can be used for a variety of missions.
