			* Hydrogen handling primarily presents containment and system integrity challenges rather than combustion risk, as the surrounding atmosphere lacks free oxygen
			* The primary safety hazards arise within enclosed systems and propellant handling operations, where hydrogen, methane, and stored oxygen may mix under fault conditions.

			=== Propellant Safety ===
			The most significant explosive risk on the platform occurs during fuel and oxidizer handling.

			* Methane (or synthetic hydrocarbons) and oxygen are stored and transferred under controlled conditions
			* Any uncontrolled mixing can result in rapid combustion or detonation
			* Fueling systems, transfer lines, and storage tanks are heavily monitored and compartmentalized

			Operational protocols prioritize strict separation of fuel and oxidizer except at controlled injection points.
