NASA is developing reusable cryogenic systems to enable manned missions to the Moon and Mars. These cryogenic systems will require replenishing cryogens on-orbit via a tanker or propellant depot with minimal loss to boil-off. Three additively manufactured injectors augmented with a Thermodynamic Venting System have been developed for use in tank-to-tank cryogenic fluid transfer. A Vented Chill/No-Vent Fill approach to tank-to-tank transfer has been the industry standard and is explored in this work with emphasis on injector spray patterns and compared to the Charge-Hold-Vent chill method.
