NASA discontinues $2B OSAM-1 satellite servicing project due to higher costs, delays, and lack of partner.

The space agency cited "continued technical, cost, and schedule challenges, and a broader community evolution away from refueling unprepared spacecraft, which has led to a lack of a committed partner".
