Propellant Depot

What Is Propellant Depot

An orbital propellant depot is a cache of propellant that is put in orbit above Earth or another body to enable spacecraft or the transfer stage of the spacecraft to be fuelled in space. This may be accomplished via the use of an orbital propellant depot. It is one of the several sorts of space resource depots that have been suggested for the purpose of making infrastructure-based space exploration possible.There are many different depot concepts, and these concepts vary depending on the kind of fuel that needs to be supplied, the location of the depot, or the kind of depot itself. A propellant tanker that delivers a single load to a spacecraft at a particular orbital location and then departs is one example of a type of depot that exists. There is no rule that says fuel stores have to be situated close to or even on board a space station.
