These spacecraft consist of interchangeable, self-assembling modules that can autonomously dock and undock in orbit to form new configurations or repair existing ones. This allows for on-demand customization, upgrades, and multi-mission capabilities without costly return missions or ground assembly.

Why It Matters

It drastically reduces the cost and complexity of space missions by enabling in-orbit construction, reconfiguration, and maintenance of satellites, telescopes, and habitats. This agility will accelerate deep space exploration and establish persistent lunar/Martian infrastructure with unprecedented flexibility.
