Tanker spacecraft

A tanker spacecraft is a type of spacecraft designed to refuel other vehicles in space, such as satellites or space stations. It carries large amounts of fuel and can transfer it accurately to its target, extending the operational life of space assets and enabling longer or more complex missions. This capability reduces the need to send new vehicles from Earth, saving time and resources. Tanker spacecraft are essential for sustainable space exploration, enabling deeper space travel and maintaining infrastructure in orbit efficiently.
