The selection of a propulsion system for a man-tended platform has been influenced by the planned use of resistojets for drag make-up on the manned Space Station. For that application a resistojet has been designed that is capable of operation with a wide variety of propellants, including water. The reasons for the selection of water as the propellant and the performance of water as a propellant are discussed. The man-tended platform and its mission requirements are described.
