Ars: You have another mission working with JAXA, ISSA-J1, to go rendezvous and inspect two decommissioned Japanese satellites. How is that different than inspecting a rocket body.

ISSA-J1 is going to satellites, and it’s going to have to approach something that has a solar array sticking out, so we’re expecting that it could be spinning. So the RPO (rendezvous and proximity operations) is definitely going to be more complex
