Orbit fuel supply startup 'Orbit Fab' becomes the first startup to successfully provide water to the ISS which is a big deal in itself as it involves multi-day refuelling process, done in microgravity, using processes & equipment developed by the startup itself. The technology developed could be used to refuel satellites in orbit, and they are working on satellite refuelling interfaces that are used in orbital hardware.
