Orbital propellant depot system.Review of some of the problems involved in the design of a long-term propellant storage depot in earth orbit to act as a resupply station for cargo/personnel shuttles between earth orbit and lunar orbit, between low earth orbit and synchronous orbit, and possibly for use with interplanetary probes. The problems discussed pertain essentially to the long-term storage and propellant transfer capabilities.
