Abstract
Enhanced rocket engine fueling systems (S) and methods (M) involving a pressure-fed rocket engine (180) with at least one or high pressure tank (120) and at least one low pressure tank (110), the at least one low pressure tank (110) accommodating a main propellant (111) and comprising a fuel transfer feature, wherein the at least one low pressure tank (110) and the at least one high pressure tank (120) are in fluid communication by way of the fuel transfer feature, and wherein the high pressure tank (120) is configured for automatic replenishment by the at least one low pressure tank (110) by way of the fuel transfer feature.
