Description:
|
The adoption of propellant depots in space is being investigated since years as a key enabler of new space missions, promising to have an important impact on the design and operations of future space transportation systems, space exploration missions, and commercial space operations. The objective of this IAA Study is an in-depth assessment of all the aspects related to the design, development and operations of long-term space depots of storable and/or cryogenic propellants in support of the above applications. Due to the innovation of the involved technologies, the need of standardized interfaces, the complexity of the servicing and utilization scenario and the landscape of target missions involving their utilization, Space Propellant Depots are ideal candidates for international collaborations to be put in place for their procurement and use.
