Research abstract
"CTD will develop and demonstrate an engineered composite material specifically for use in cryogenic liquid oxygen (LOX) tanks. This effort will provide a composite material with acceptable and well-understood LOX compatibility and suitable mechanicalproperties. CTD will identify and screen candidate polymer matrix materials and composites for LOX compatibility and other critical properties needed for composite LOX tanks. Reliable, robust, and economical all-composite LOX tanks will provide reducedrisk, increased capability, and lower costs for miliraty and civilian spacecraft and launch vehicle programs."
