Abstract

Robotic Refueling Mission-3 (RRM3) is an external payload on the International Space Station (ISS) to demonstrate the techniques for storing and transferring a cryogenic fuel on orbit. RRM3 was designed and built at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA/GSFC). Initial testing was performed at GSFC using liquid nitrogen and liquid argon. Final testing and flight fill of methane was performed at the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to take advantage of KSC's facilities and expertise for handling a combustible cryogen.
