Objectives are to evaluate the feasibility and limitations of fluid acquisition and transfer under an accleration induced in a tethered orbital refueling facility and to provide conceptual designs. Program tasks consist of recommendation of fluid transfer method and parameters; evaluation of disturbances, fluid motion, and damping; selection of passive devices to augment inherent fluid damping and determination of the resultant envelope of operation; assessment of the effect of tether lengths on hazards; and identification of ground and flight tests necessary to prove the tethered orbital refueling concepts.
