The technology effort required for the development of a propellant scavenging system is identified. For a cryogenic propellant system, the development tests identified are for a cryogenic capillary acquisition system for zero-g feedout capability and for definition of existing Space Transformation System (STS) performance capabilities. For a storable propellant system, the development tests identified are for three major components required in the system: a propellant pump, a helium compressor, and a zero leakage fluid disconnect.
