Liquid oxygen in combination with many organic (oxidizable) materials can result in a violent reaction. Systems that incorporate liquid nitrogen traps must never be opened to the atmosphere until the ...

His latest project is a 250lbf regeneratively cooled engine. It uses kerosene as the fuel, and liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. The neat thing is he utilizes the temperature change of the liquid ...

For nearly a year, SpaceX has been trying out something new: super-cooling the liquid oxygen (LOX) which is a key ingredient in rocket fuel. It's called deep-cryo LOX, and the idea has been around ...

The call was due to a storage tank leaking liquid oxygen. The SCFD's report states the leak was coming from a rooftop tank system that required firefighters and hazardous material technicians to ...

hydrogen systems, liquid oxygen systems, so it’s a very complex piece of structure,” Shannon said in an October 3 media teleconference. At that teleconference, Shannon noted that functional ...

Working with liquid oxygen is vital for U-2 pilots and the mission. "Pilots rely on us to make sure they can breathe while wearing their suit," said Senior Airman Corey Walton, 9th Logistic ...

The Baolongyu test site of the Institute 165 of the Sixth Academy under the state-owned space giant China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), successfully completes three consecutive ...

"The just-completed experiment tested an upper-stage liquid hydrogen-liquid oxygen engine. It tested the overall coordination of the engine and obtained performance data. After assessment ...

the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket will be responsible for launching astronauts on their journey. With the liquid oxygen tank now fully welded, all of the major structures that will form the ...
