HOTDOCK Successfully Passes Thermal Testing

HOTDOCK in Thermal Chamber

Space Applications Services has successfully completed thermal testing of the HOTDOCK device in its SCHUMANN refuel configuration. The test was performed in standalone mode within our in-house Thermal Chamber.

Throughout the entire operational thermal range — from -40°C to +70°C — HOTDOCK’s electro-mechanical systems remained fully functional, confirming its robust performance under extreme temperature conditions representative of space environments.

HOTDOCK is now ready for delivery to ArianeGroup for integrated functional Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) testing with refueling operations, a major step toward enabling future robotic refueling missions.
