With the deepening of human spaceflight activities and the gradual increase of spacecraft size, the demand for orbital propellant refueling has become more and more important. The technology of orbital propellant refueling is of great significance for prolonging the spacecraft life and reducing its cost. At present, most of the spacecraft around the world use the propulsion systems based on chemical propellants (such as liquid two-component propellants nitrogen tetroxide and methylhydrazine). Large spacecraft (such as manned space station) have the characteristics of high value and long service life. In order to improve the economic efficiency of spacecraft, orbital propellant refueling is globally used to prolong their service life.
