An example of an apparatus includes an inlet to connect to a propellant source a pressure regulator connected to the inlet to reduce propellant pressure from a first pressure at the inlet to a second pressure. The apparatus includes a manifold connected to the pressure regulator to receive propellant from the pressure regulator at the second pressure and includes a plurality of manifold outlets. The apparatus further includes a plurality of gas lines, each gas line extending from a corresponding manifold outlet for connection to a corresponding satellite propellant tank.
