The sustainable exploration of space will rely on refueling and reuse of spacecraft and rocket stages. This will require propellant depots where cryogenic fluids are stored and then transferred into customer tanks. The long-term storage and transfer of cryogenic propellants in space has never been demonstrated. NASA has funded several projects to demonstrate these technologies in orbit and...
