Modular spacecraft

Modular spacecraft are designed with separate, interchangeable parts or modules that can be assembled and reconfigured based on mission needs. This approach allows for greater flexibility, easier maintenance, and upgrades, as individual modules can be replaced or added without rebuilding the entire spacecraft. Think of it like building with Lego blocks—each module has a specific purpose, such as power, propulsion, or scientific instruments. This design simplifies development, reduces costs, and enhances adaptability for various space missions, from satellite deployments to deep-space exploration.
