The panelists provided overviews of the satellite servicing technologies and capabilities their organizations are developing and testing, as well as the remaining technical and non-technical challenges to overcome. The panel concluded by discussing how to get satellite operators to adopt these new capabilities and the role of governments in incenting responsible and sustainable behavior.
