Antaios
editAntaios is a propellant depot currently in development by Gateway Galactic, Inc. The name Antaios is an indirect reference to Anti, the ferryman in ancient Egyptian mythology. Anti's role was to grant Horus passage between the human world and their world. Much like Anti, Antaios will allow passage to far away locations in a more cost effective way.
Gateway Galactic is pioneering the new industry of selling fuel in orbit. An innovative feature of Antaios is its space saving design allowing it to be small enough for a single launch, yet large enough to handle the vast quantities of fuel that will be needed.
