Propulsion System Architecture Refueling Capability Assessment for A Mars Transit Habitat ConceptA pressure-fed hypergolic bi-propellant system is the assumed propulsion approach for the
Reaction Control System (RCS) used by the Mars Transit Habitat (TH), an architectural concept being
traded within the NASA Moon to Mars architecture. The propellants under consideration are Monomethyl Hydrazine (MMH) and Mixed Oxides of Nitrogen with 3% Nitric Oxide (MON3), with helium pressurant.
