Orbit Fab gets $12 million to integrate refueling port with military satellites.

Orbit Fab, a venture-backed business that provides space refuelling, has earned a $12 million contract to ensure that its fuelling interface works with US military satellites.

The US Air Force and US Space Force each contributed $6 million, as well as $6 million from Orbit Fab's private investors.

The deal is for Orbit Fab's RAFTI (rapidly attachable fluid transfer interface) fuelling port to be integrated with military satellites. Satellites can receive propellant from Orbit Fab's space tankers through this port.

Jeremy Schiel, the company's founder and chief development officer, told SpaceNews on March 17 that this is the company's largest government contract to yet.
