A Dual-Orbit Refueling Architecture for Human Mars Missions
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This record presents a public technical concept proposing a dual-orbit refueling architecture consisting of Earth Orbit and Mars Orbit fuel depots. The objective is to reduce mission risk, lower launch mass, and enable safe, scalable, and repeatable human Mars missions through pre-positioned orbital propellant infrastructure. This work is shared as an independent public technical submission for discussion and re ference.
