The U.S. Air Force is using a small spacecraft to explore a range of future military applications such as in-space servicing and repair, as well as close-up inspection of satellites in support of future space operations. The Experimental Satellite System-11 (XSS-11) weighs around 220 lbs. and is about the size of a dishwasher. It was developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) Space Vehicles Directorate at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
