Check out the DARPA Artist now known as RSGS - Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellite.

RSGS is a demonstration satellite with "highly dexterous robotic servicing suite" designed to perform "on-orbit upgrades, inspections, anomaly resolution, and satellite relocation." on satellites in geosynchronous orbit (GEO), which is ~ 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above the Earth. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/satellites/darpa-readies-robotic-deep-space-repair-satellite-for-2026-launch #DARPA #RSGS #Satellites #GEO #GeosynchronousOrbit #Robot #Space

China jumps ahead in the race to achieve a new kind of reuse in space

The SJ-21 and SJ-25 satellites “merged” on July 2 and have remained together since then.
