How Refueling Helps
Short-term
Sustainability improves when we stop using disposable, single-use satellites and de-orbit responsibly.
Long-term
Refueling reduces the need to launch massive amounts of material off-Earth (like fuel to get to Mars) and provides the materials in space to allow manufacturing to move off-Earth.
Assuming Orbit Fab can enable 10% of power generation and manufacturing to move off-earth, we can curb C02 emission by 2.3 Gigatons per year.
Fuel from the Moon
Lunar propellant production significantly reduces the cost of refueling even in LEO, and enables us to live sustainably off-Earth without the dependance on Earth’s resources.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide is the only high-impulse storable monopropellant and oxidizer that can be created from asteroid and lunar hydrocarbons (CO2 and water!)
These hydrocarbons can be obtained through Calcination of C-type asteroid regolith and are theorized to be mixed with water deposits on the lunar South Pole.

Making Hydrogen Peroxide on the Moon and shipping it to Low Earth Orbit is:
-
More economic
-
Reduces unessesary launches from Earth
-
Conserves Earth resources

Conserves Earth resources The process:
- Mine icy regolith
- Extract and purify the water
-
Convert in an electrochemical cell
The chemical family derived from H2O/CO2 can also produce the Propane/Peroxide (bi)propellant, Oxygen for breathing, and Water for drinking, food, and propellant.
