Oxygen/hydrogen propulsion system options for space station orbit maintenance and attitude control were developed and evaluated relative to monopropellant and storable bipropellant propulsion systems. Space station propulsion requirements were analyzed with reference to such considerations as station size, altitude, power, crew size, and orbit transfer vehicle and orbital maneuvering vehicle servicing requirements. The evolutionary growth of oxygen/hydrogen bipropellant propulsion as an integral part of several interrelated space station functions, e.g., life support, power, and thermal management was considered. Propellant resupply evolves from resupply based on transport of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen to water. The advantages of the operation of the space station based on an oxygen/hydrogen economy are presented and discussed.
