In a conversation with SSPI’s Robert Bell, we hear from Manwei Chan, Project Manager and team leader for the MIT team in the 18' SSPI-SEDS Competition: Designing the Robotic Space Tug.

Manwei’s team took 2nd place with their design of a pair of Full Service SpaceTugs with capable robotic arms, enabling to dock with a variety of LEO satellites and service even satellites with no service-enabling features or technology on board. Manwei is President of MIT SEDS, and runs the MIT Space Seminar.
