LOXSAT could enable orbital refueling stations
LOXSAT will spend nine months testing 11 key parts that handle cryogenic fuels in microgravity, including solving tricky problems like fuel boil-off.
If it works, NASA could set up gas stations in orbit, making longer space missions possible and keeping Artemis landers fueled for lunar missions, while also enabling future Mars missions.
