• A private mission launched to extend life of out-of-gas communication satellites.
• A two-armed space robot will attach jetpacks to aging satellites.
• The mission aims to save satellite operators millions of dollars in replacement costs.
• Northrop Grumman's MRV spacecraft will use its arms to attach jetpacks to three satellites.

This mission may indicate a growing trend in the satellite industry towards extending the life of existing spacecraft, which could save operators significant costs and reduce the need for new launches. The success of this mission suggests that satellite servicing could become a major area of focus for companies like Northrop Grumman, which could lead to new business opportunities and revenue streams.
