Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) is a critical capability for a hydrogen NTP vehicle for a crewed mission to Mars. AMA has investigated the concept of operations for zero boiloff CFM systems and provided feasibility assessment for a zero-boiloff CFM system based on gravity-independent technologies. This includes identification of CFM-critical mission stages, modelling of CFM operational modes in steady state and transient conditions, thermal analysis of the NTP vehicle and CFM systems, hydrogen leakage analysis, and system margins and fault tolerance. This work illustrates the feasibility of a zero boiloff mission with a set of technology performance assumptions.
