Space Robotics Workers (SRW) 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. The collaboration aims to advance autonomous in-space construction, targeting applications such as Commercial LEO Destination platforms and solar power stations.
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 berthing, docking, and transfer of power, fluids, and data. This test, performed in a ground-based analog environment, marks a milestone toward SRW's roadmap for robotic construction of persistent orbital structures.
Spacedock's interface is described as an AI-powered, cyber-secure hardware-and-software layer that enables rapid payload integration and secure docking. It also acts as a data node for diagnostics and optimization, forming the backbone of interoperable space infrastructure. According to Negar Feher, CEO of Spacedock, the collaboration accelerates the shift to a modular, serviceable space ecosystem, helping protect billions in assets and extend mission lifetimes.
SRW, based in Spain, develops autonomous robotics for on-orbit assembly and servicing. Raffaele Vitulli, Technical Director of SRW, stated that selecting Spacedock reflects confidence in an architecture that can scale with their vision for a permanent human presence in orbit.
Headquartered in California, Spacedock was founded by veterans of SpaceX, Maxar, and Stanford. The company is building the universal interface for scalable space operations. More information is available at Spacedock.co or by following @Spacedock on LinkedIn and @Spacedock_ on X.
