Space Robotics Workers Partners with Spacedock for Modular Space Assembly Technology

Space Robotics Workers has selected Spacedock's intelligent interface for integration with its robotic Smart Truss system, a modular structural element designed for orbital assembly and maintenance of space infrastructure. This partnership represents a significant step toward creating sustainable, upgradable space systems that could transform how orbital infrastructure is built and maintained.

The companies will conduct a ground demonstration in early 2026 to validate autonomous capture and structural connection between Smart Truss units using Spacedock's interface for autonomous berthing, docking, and power, fluid, and data transfer. The test, conducted in a ground-based analog environment, marks a milestone toward SRW's roadmap for robotic construction of Commercial LEO Destination platforms, solar power stations, and other persistent orbital structures.

This collaboration addresses a critical challenge in space infrastructure development: the ability to maintain, upgrade, and extend the lifespan of orbital assets. Negar Feher, CEO of Spacedock, emphasized the broader implications, stating that their collaboration with SRW shows how Spacedock's intelligent interface accelerates the shift to a modular, serviceable, and sustainable space ecosystem. By making orbital systems upgradeable and maintainable, the companies are helping the industry protect billions in assets and extend mission lifetimes.

Space Robotics Workers, based in Spain, develops autonomous robotics technologies for on-orbit assembly and servicing. Raffaele Vitulli, Technical Director of SRW, explained that selecting Spacedock reflects more than just an interface choice. It reflects confidence in an architecture that can scale with our vision for a permanent and vigorous human presence in orbit. This partnership signals growing momentum toward creating infrastructure that supports long-term human activities in space.

Spacedock, headquartered in California, is developing the universal interface for space systems—an AI-powered, cyber-secure hardware-and-software layer that enables rapid hosted-payload integration and secure berthing, docking, and transfer of power, data, and fluids. Each Spacedock interface acts as a data node for AI-driven diagnostics, cybersecurity, and optimization, forming the backbone of interoperable, upgradable space infrastructure. The technology represents a fundamental building block for future space operations where multiple systems from different providers can work together seamlessly.

The implications of this technology extend beyond immediate commercial applications. The ability to assemble, maintain, and upgrade structures in orbit could enable larger, more complex space stations, more efficient solar power satellites, and more resilient communication networks. This approach could significantly reduce the cost of space infrastructure by allowing components to be replaced or upgraded rather than requiring complete system replacement. The partnership between SRW and Spacedock represents a shift toward treating space infrastructure as dynamic, evolving systems rather than static, single-purpose installations.
