Design, performance, and technology issues associated with reduced gravity propellant management for orbital transfer vehicles (OTV's) are reviewed. The in-space cryogenic management state-of-technology significantly affects the overall confidence level associated with a resupply mission and propulsion performance. Cryogen resupply sequences, timelines, controls, and associated crew involvement are all affected by the technology state. Additionally, OTV propellant tankage configurations, tankage thermodynamic conditions, acceleration environment, propulsion interfaces, and instrumentation are significant factors. Basic propellant transfer phases examined that drive orbital servicing requirements include: (1) tankage preconditioning; (2) tankage chilldown; and (3) propellant fill. Propellant management support of the OTV propulsion phases includes engine restart requirements and orbital coast between engine burns. Technology activities in support of identified technology issues are reviewed.
