Myanmar's satellite held by Japan on space station due to spying concern
I don't want to minimize the geopolitical issue here but wanted to ask about microsatellites and the ISS.<p>How do you put the satellite onto its intended orbit, like are only satellites intended with a polar orbit capable of this approach?<p>Do you need booster rockets to get in the right orbit?<p>Can we go the other way and use the ISS as like an orbital garage to capture and fix satellites?<p>This is the first I've heard if the ISS holding onto satellites, I thought satellites are deployed by the launch rocket and just put into orbit.
