At the end of 2017, Astrobee will launch three free-flying robots that will navigate the entire US segment of the ISS (International Space Station) and serve as a payload facility. These robots will provide guest science payloads with processor resources, space within the robot for physical attachment, power, communication, propulsion, and human interfaces.
