Spacecraft liquid transport system

A system for transporting a liquid in space, the system comprising:

• an expandable container configured to store a liquid, the container comprising a flexible, collapsible material;
• a pressure control system in mechanical communication with the expandable container, the pressure control system comprising a plurality of circumferential belts surrounding the expandable container, each belt coupled to a corresponding strap motor configured to selectively tighten the belt around the expandable container to compress a volume of the expandable container and thereby maintain an internal pressure sufficient to keep the liquid in a liquid state in a vacuum environment;
• a fluid transport assembly coupled to the expandable container, the fluid transport assembly comprising at least one nozzle configured for intake and dispensing of the liquid;
• and
• a control system configured to regulate an operation of the pressure control system and the fluid transport assembly to enable controlled intake and dispensing of the liquid.
