Abstract
In the development of a concept for an experimental platform for demonstrating technologies associated with the on-orbit handling, transfer and storage of cryogenic propellants, credibility is enhanced with simulations of operations using thermodynamic models. Predictions have further credibility if the modeling technique is verified against simulations of actual cryogenic fuel transfers during ground testing. This paper will demonstrate the capability of simulating the transfer of liquid hydrogen as preformed at NASA’s Glenn Research Center. Results of simulations of an experimental space mission developed at Ball Aerospace will then follow. The mission concept is intended to demonstrate the technologies and storage methodologies for supporting long-term storage and transfer of cryogenic fuels in space.
