Comment Comment by filereaper I don't want to minimize the geopolitical issue here but wanted to ask about microsatellites and the ISS.How do you put the satellite onto its intended orbit, like are only satellites intended with a polar orbit capable of this approach?Do you need booster rockets to get in the right orbit?Can we go the other way and use the ISS as like an orbital garage to capture and fix satellites?This is the first I've heard if the ISS holding onto satellites, I thought satellites are deployed by the launch rocket and just put into orbit. parent filereaper 5 years ago
How do you put the satellite onto its intended orbit, like are only satellites intended with a polar orbit capable of this approach?
Do you need booster rockets to get in the right orbit?
