OSAM-2 On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly & ManufacturingSometime around 2023, a Motiv xLink Robotic Arm will launch on board a spacecraft designed to do something unique: build a 3D-printed solar array while it’s orbiting the earth.
TAMPA, Fla. — German launch services provider Exolaunch is developing a line of eco-friendly space tugs called Reliant, designed to clean up debris after sending satellites to custom orbits.Flight tests will start in the second half of 2022 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare mission with customer payloads, according to Exolaunch vice president of launch services Jeanne Medvedeva.

Targeted Date: March 31, 2022Mission: Axiom-1 Mission to the International Space StationDescription:The spaceflight, designated as Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1), will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and travel to the International Space Station. Once aboard the orbiting laboratory, the four-person Axiom Space crew will conduct science, outreach, and commercial activities for eight days before their return to Earth. NASA and Axiom mission planners will coordinate in-orbit activities for the private astronauts to conduct in coordination with space station crew members and flight controllers on the ground.
Looks like the Mars Demo 1 hosted payload was not on Transporter 3.https://nanoracks.com/outpost/"Mars Demo-1 - Flying Q2 2022Outpost’s first in-space technology demonstration mission will fly on SpaceX’s Transporter 5."
