SHIELD

Overview

SHIELD is an upgrade that allows satellite operators to deploy scouting units to inspect potential threats at close range. It includes a base station installable on any satellite, even unprepared ones, and is compatible with multiple robotic servicers. It enables tactically responsive rapid transit within the GEO belt, defensive space operations, and close-range inspection and image capture.
