Systems and methods for transferring, storing, and/or processing materials, such as fuel or propellant, in space, are disclosed. A representative system includes a coupling system for transferring material between objects on orbit in space. The coupling system can include a first coupling structure configured to couple with a second coupling structure in space, one or more mechanical docking connectors carried by the first coupling structure, and one or more fluid transfer connectors carried by the first coupling structure.
