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.

The ever-increasing number of space assets and interplanetary missions is creating a requirement for spacecraft service on-orbit. A large demand for this servicing in space is the resupply of consumables and propellants. The benefits of refueling, or refueling as it will be come to be called, are shown in this paper. A discussion of the issues involved with transporting fluids in zero-gravity is also included. Furthermore, the technology necessary to make spacecraft refueling feasible is demonstrated. The main focus of the paper is on the implementation of a servicing vehicle. The propulsion performance necessary for both a manned and automated servicer is investigated using an existing system design that would be based at the International Space Station. The advantages and disadvantages of each system are discussed. The importance of a high performance propulsion system is shown and recommendations are made on this subject. Overall, the servicing vehicle is shown to be most efficient if it were automated and able to provide many services.

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.

The concept of developing a new technology for on-orbit storage and refueling system has been a great interest among scientists for many decades. This study is about Centaur-based on-orbit propellant storage and transfer. This system takes the adventure of rotational settling to a simple fluid management (FM) system. Specifically, enabling settles fluid transfer and settled pressure control between two tanks. This thesis work focuses on configuration and validation of static and dynamic stability, mass gauging and CFD analysis of the rotational propellant transfer method in space. The application of this technology in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geo-Synchronous Orbit (GEO) would enable further extending the mission capabilities of modern day Commercial Launch Vehicles (CLV's). Bulk Storage and handling of propellant liquids in space involves considerable technical challenge due to high vacuum and potential zero gravity environment. In order to raise the technology readiness level of this system, experimental study was conducted on (a) system dynamics, (b) mass gauging, (c) CFD analysis. The stability dynamics study showed the system to be stable about the minor axis with high rotational velocity. The mass gauging system was validated using experimental modal analysis. CFD analysis was used to analysis the fluid behavior during the transfer. These results provide a critical insight into this behavior and physical tendencies of the on-orbit refueling system.

The key to opening the use of space to private enterprise and to broader public uses lies in reducing the cost of the transportation to space. More routine, affordable access to space will entail aircraft-like quick turnaround and reliable operations. Currently, the space Shuttle is the only reusable launch vehicle, and even parts of it are expendable while other parts require frequent and extensive refurbishment. NASA's highest priority new activity, the Reusable Launch Vehicle program, is directed toward developing technologies to enable a new generation of space launchers, perhaps but not necessarily with single stage to orbit capability. This book assesses whether the technology development, test and analysis programs in propulsion and materials-related technologies are properly constituted to provide the information required to support a December 1996 decision to build the X-33, a technology demonstrator vehicle; and suggest, as appropriate, necessary changes in these programs to ensure that they will support vehicle feasibility goals.
