"NASA Cancels $2 Billion Satellite Refueling Project Due to Contractor's Poor Performance"

NASA has terminated the OSAM-1 project, aimed at testing satellite refueling in space, due to technical, cost, and scheduling challenges, as well as "poor performance" by primary contractor Maxar. The project's cancellation is also attributed to the industry trend of designing satellites with built-in refueling capabilities, making OSAM-1's approach less relevant. NASA will now shut down the project, explore potential partnerships or alternative uses for the hardware, and support the personnel involved.
