Though initially designed for refueling, NASA plans to expand the capabilities of Restore-L to include other maintenance activities that will extend the life of an orbiting spacecraft. “Restore-L effectively breaks the paradigm of one-and-done spacecraft,” says Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office (SSCO) Associate Director Frank Cepollina in a prepared statement. Once deployed, the robot could act as a gas station in space, providing satellites with much-needed propellant. On the maintenance side, the robot one day may be able to manufacture and assemble components in space and use them to service a satellite. It also may be used to reduce space accidents by removing space junk from orbit.

Compressional or P (for primary)

, Love, and Rayleigh. Primary waves push and pull the ground in the direction the wave is traveling. Secondary waves travel in the same direction, but they shake the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. Love waves move back and forth horizontally. Rayleigh waves cause both vertical and horizontal ground motion.
