Robotic Refueling Mission 3: Cryogenic Demonstration Subsystem OperationsThe Robotic Refueling Mission 3 (RRM3) payload was installed on the International Space Station (ISS) in December 2018. Its Cryogenic Demonstation Subsystem (CDS) was loaded with 19 kilograms of liquid methane, for demonstration of on-orbit storage and transfer. We provide a short description of the design and ground testing of the CDS, and then discuss the on-orbit operations through the first half of 2019.
