Summary
| Description |
English: A depot capability could evolve, starting with Liquid Oxygen (LOX), the heaviest propellant, adding Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) or Hydrocarbons later to increase performance. Depots could be increased in size, adding more tanks or more fuel, as needed. Once a Lunar ISRU processor has been developed, a depot could be built at one of the Earth-Moon Lagrange Points. Propellant could be supplied from the Moon at a significant reduction in performance than bringing it from Earth. Later depots can be added supported by ISRU as we move out in space. |
