Cryogenic Tank Modeling for the Saturn AS-203 Experiment
TL;DR: A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed for the Saturn S-IVB liquid hydrogen (LH2) tank to simulate the 1966 AS-203 flight experiment as discussed by the authors, which is the only known, adequately-instrumented, low-gravity, cryogenic self pressurization test that is well suited for CFD model validation.

Space depot for spacecraft resupply
TL;DR: In this paper, a spacecraft is docked to an orbital propellant depot (40, 150 ) in space, and a docking adaptor is used to transfer propellant from the depot to the spacecraft.
