Once docking is completed, MEV-2 will maintain the attitude and orbit control of the CVS, as directed by Intelsat pursuant to the contractual agreement between the parties. Operational control of MEV-2 is maintained throughout this process,
including post docking, by Space Logistics at the MEV-2 MOC.After the rendezvous and docking is completed, SpaceLogistics anticipates that MEV-2 will operate as a CVS with IS-1002 for at least five years.
After completion of that service, MEV-2 will undock from the IS-1002, leaving it to continue operation or be decommissioned by Intelsat. Prior to the expiration of its contractual arrangement with Intelsat and undocking with IS-1002, Space Logistics will seek FCC approval, as well as any other applicable regulatory approvals, to relocate MEV-2 and perform its next mission.
