Abstract: Various gauging methods for remaining liquid propellant in orbit were reviewed, and the research work that could be conducted in the future was prospected. Firstly, the reasons for the difficulty in measuring the amount of remaining propellant in microgravity were analyzed. Then, the development of the gauging methods for remaining propellant was reviewed, which was classified into the following three stages: technology germination, technology maturity and new technology exploration. Next, the commonly used gauging methods for remaining propellant including Book-Keeping (BK), Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT), and Thermal Gauging Method (TGM) were introduced and compared in detail from the following points of view: fundamental principle, error analysis and research progress; meanwhile, the advantages and disadvantages of various methods were comparatively analyzed. Finally, the research work that could be conducted in the future was prospected: the first was to combine various methods which had different measuring accuracy during the different lifetime of satellites, to improve the overall gauging accuracy; the second was to develop a new gauging method with high accuracy in all lifetime of satellites.
