What Are The Current Leading Growth Drivers For On-Orbit Propellant Depot Market?
As lunar and Martian exploration becomes increasingly critical, the on-orbit propellant depot market is poised for growth. Lunar and Martian exploration consists of creating both human and robotic missions intended for exploration, presence establishment, and research on the Moon and Mars. This increased focus is a result of geopolitical rivalry, where countries strive to showcase their space leadership for strategic, scientific, and economic benefits. On-orbit propellant depots contribute to lunar and Martian exploration by offering in-space refuelling, enabling long-term missions to be possible. These depots minimize the need for several Earth takeoffs by allowing spacecraft to top up their fuel while in orbit, which enhances the effectiveness and sustainability of missions. As an example, the US government sanctioned $7.478 billion in July 2023 for Moon-to-Mars exploration under the Artemis program, as reported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, marking a $687 million rise from 2022. Therefore, the growth of the on-orbit propellant depot market is largely driven by the escalating focus on lunar and Martian exploration.

What Are The Major Trends That Will Shape The On-Orbit Propellant Depot Market In The Future?
Major firms in the on-orbit propellant depot market are directing their efforts towards the conception of novel solutions such as universal refuelling interfaces to facilitate satellite servicing, prolong mission durations and cultivate a self-sustaining space ecosystem. Standardized refuelling interfaces denote generic ports and connection structures that enable a service vehicle to couple with and transmit propellant to a client satellite, irrespective of its producer. To illustrate, Orbit Fab Inc., a company situated in the U.S. specialising in in-space refuelling, initiated its hydrazine refuelling service in September 2022, the first of its kind in commercial terms. This service employs the company's proprietary Rapid Attachable Fluid Transfer Interface (RAFTI) port, a universal propellant valve engineered to interface with both existing and newly-manufactured satellites. This system integrates a refuelling shuttle that stores the propellant and can autodock with a client satellite's RAFTI port to finalize the transfer, thus allowing mission extensions without pre-existing design synergy between the satellite's operator and the propellant supplier.
