Standard Docking Interface Development for ESA’s POC1 Mission
As part of the evolving European #SpaceTransportation and #LogisticsEcosystem, OHB Italia S.p.A. is taking the lead in developing the Standard Docking Interface, which will be a key device of #ESA’s In-Space Transportation Proof of Concept-1 (POC1) mission.
The interface is designed to connect the active unit, integrated into the In-Space Transportation Vehicle (#ISTV) and the passive unit, placed on the client satellite. This system will enable safe docking, power transfer, and provide the stability needed for orbital maneuvers.
This project highlights our progress in building the #interface, from the initial prototypes to successful testing with simulations.
