    But why? OSAM-1 is cool conceptually (so was OSAM-2), but if it’s overly complicated, behind schedule, over budget, and has no real commercial demand or applications, then what’s the point? It seems like “jetpacks” are the answer for old SVs not designed to be refueled or repaired, and refueling technology is gaining momentum. The complexity of OSAM-1 doesn’t fit in that picture.
