NASA's new satellite will circle the globe repairing broken space robots

When a satellite runs out of fuel or fails to deploy its solar panels, who you gonna call? There's currently no reliable way to physically repair things in orbit, which means a multimillion-dollar satellite can be rendered useless by a small glitch. But NASA has been eyeing a solution. This week, the space agency announced it's setting aside $127 million to fund a satellite that repairs and refuels others in orbit. The Restore-L satellite is being developed by a company called Space Systems Loral in Palo Alto, California.
