This is not your average gas jockey position; it’s a little more out of this world. NASA is testing the use of a low orbit filling station to replenish fuel in orbiting satellites, adding new life to aging satellites.
The agency’s Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office has identified 242 end-of-lifers destined to run out of gas in the next five to six years.
