Existing on-orbit refueling systems have steadily increased the mass of propellant they can refuel from Orbital Express' 22 kilograms in 2007 to Tianzhou 2's delivery of 2000 kilograms in 2021, yet refueling rates like the industry-leading Robotic and Refueling Mission's .155 kilograms per second demonstrated in 2012 shows that some technology areas could still hold back legitimate refueling operations. Refueling system designers should consider a few insights from this research to help define architectures that close existing gaps in refueling system performance.

Next, the results of a parametric study analyzing the effects of staging, mass ratio, and specific impulse on optimal refueling orbit placement and mass savings are shown and discussed. Specifically, this parametric study confirms that orbital refueling can offer significant launch vehicle mass savings, potentially providing equivalent missions for 1.4-7.3 times less total mass than the traditional single rocket architecture for two-stage rockets and enabling utilization of single-stage to orbit (SSTO) launch vehicles for more demanding missions. Additionally, upcoming missions, such as NASA's Artemis 1 mission and a SpaceX Starship Mars mission are assessed with refueling in mind, and potential mass savings are tabulated for applicable optimal refueling architectures. Finally, the idea of sustainable, on-orbit cryogenic refueling infrastructures is discussed as a whole, with long-term effects on the human exploration of the solar system theorized and presented. The second topic of research in this thesis concerns itself with developing technologies and methods needed to achieve on-orbit refueling.

NASA's Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT) has begun to rebuild the advanced space technology program in the agency with plans laid out in 14 draft technology roadmaps. It has been years since NASA has had a vigorous, broad-based program in advanced space technology development and its technology base has been largely depleted. However, success in executing future NASA space missions will depend on advanced technology developments that should already be underway. Reaching out to involve the external technical community, the National Research Council (NRC) considered the 14 draft technology roadmaps prepared by OCT and ranked the top technical challenges and highest priority technologies that NASA should emphasize in the next 5 years. This report provides specific guidance and recommendations on how the effectiveness of the technology development program managed by OCT can be enhanced in the face of scarce resources.

More than four decades have passed since a human first set foot on the Moon. Great strides have been made in our understanding of what is required to support an enduring human presence in space, as evidenced by progressively more advanced orbiting human outposts, culminating in the current International Space Station (ISS). However, of the more than 500 humans who have so far ventured into space, most have gone only as far as near-Earth orbit, and none have traveled beyond the orbit of the Moon. Achieving humans' further progress into the solar system had proved far more difficult than imagined in the heady days of the Apollo missions, but the potential rewards remain substantial. During its more than 50-year history, NASA's success in human space exploration has depended on the agency's ability to effectively address a wide range of biomedical, engineering, physical science, and related obstacles-an achievement made possible by NASA's strong and productive commitments to life and physical sciences research for human space exploration, and by its use of human space exploration infrastructures for scientific discovery. The Committee for the Decadal Survey of Biological and Physical Sciences acknowledges the many achievements of NASA, which are all the more remarkable given budgetary challenges and changing directions within the agency. In the past decade, however, a consequence of those challenges has been a life and physical sciences research program that was dramatically reduced in both scale and scope, with the result that the agency is poorly positioned to take full advantage of the scientific opportunities offered by the now fully equipped and staffed ISS laboratory, or to effectively pursue the scientific research needed to support the development of advanced human exploration capabilities. Although its review has left it deeply concerned about the current state of NASA's life and physical sciences research, the Committee for the Decadal Survey on Biological and Physical Sciences in Space is nevertheless convinced that a focused science and engineering program can achieve successes that will bring the space community, the U.S. public, and policymakers to an understanding that we are ready for the next significant phase of human space exploration. The goal of this report is to lay out steps and develop a forward-looking portfolio of research that will provide the basis for recapturing the excitement and value of human spaceflight-thereby enabling the U.S. space program to deliver on new exploration initiatives that serve the nation, excite the public, and place the United States again at the forefront of space exploration for the global good.
