Description

Despite the drastic launch cost reductions in the last 20 years and the various attempts to design multifunctional docking and refueling interfaces in US and Europe, Satellite Operators industry does not seem interested in adopting a particular coupling. A simple coupling is proposed, for a second time (as per AIAA 2006-5660), based on an adapter, applicable to existing fill & drain valves.
