A Scalable Orbital Propellant Depot Design

2006-05-01 , Street, David

This paper describes the design and features of a Scalable Orbital Propellant Depot Design tool. The purpose of the tool is to enable others to easily test the effectiveness of adding a propellant depot to an exploration architecture. Several options are available including zero boil-off technology, usable propellant and depot geometry. It is assumed that the depot is refillable with a total service life of 10 years and resides in low earth orbit. Examples of depots created with the tool are shown. Application to existing exploration architectures is also discussed.
