Aiming at vented orbital refueling, the microgravity experiment research on orbital refueling process (ORP) is carried out in the paper. By using the microgravity test system of orbital refueling and proper experiment means, the microgravity drop tower (DT) test of all the ORP is accomplished triumphantly, then the transformation process of fuel surface and flow characteristic are obtained, and the extrusion efficiency of the refueling tank is gotten, and the on-orbit propellant resupply performance of VTT is validated. The results indicate that, the orbital refueling in the vane type tank is absolutely feasible, and the performance of propellant management device (PMD) in the tank is good.
