Orbital H₂ Depot
1971 Concept
In this artist’s concept from 1971, an Earth-to orbit fuel tanker approaches the Orbital Propellant Depot. As envisioned by Marshall Space Flight Center Program Devlopment plarners, an orbital modular propellant storage depot, supplied periodically by the Space Shuttle or Earth-to-orbit fuel tankers would be critical in making available large amounts of fuel to various orbital vehicles and spacecraft.
