i am starting this thread to get information on the fueling mechanism used for the Ares.thanks
The second stage will be likely fueled with hypergols prior to intergration at the VAB, transporting a full second stage and hoisting it in to place.

Its RCS/ACS systems will likely be self contained units that can be fueled offsite and then be installed at the VAB. Much like the S-IVB ACS
