Reusable Cryogenic-Liquid Tank With Replaceable LinerConceptual tank with replaceable liner holds liquid propellant and is suitable for reuse in spacecraft propulsion systems. Main components are: composite outer shell for containment of pressure, replaceable membrane liner, and foam-filled honeycomb sandwich bonded to inside of tank to insulate and stabilize wall of tank. Concept maximizes potential of filament-wound composite pressure shells with strength-to-density ratios five times those of comparable aluminum shells. Reduction in weight as much as 50 percent.
