To accelerate new technology development, overcome the technical readiness levels 4‒7 “Valley of Death,” and reduce acquisition cost, the U.S. Space Force (USSF) started an In-Space Developmental Test (iSDT) initiative, which is also called Advanced Space-Based Testbed (XST) in its realization form. This test-persistent platform is unmanned, highly autonomous, and capable of in-space assembly morphing in shape and in-space servicing to accommodate as many test payloads as possible.
This webinar will cover the following topics:
- Architecture, requirements, and operational concepts of the iSDT
- Potential test candidates
- XST modeling
- A sample test plan
- A tentative launch schedule
