The payload for a project that looks to prove long-term cryogenic storage in low earth orbit has been cleared after extensive testing, advancing it to its next stage. The project, named LOXSAT, is being undertaken by US-based technology development company Eta Space. LOXSAT is the company’s nine-month data-gathering mission that aims to send 100 litres of liquid oxygen into space and store it with no losses. Eta Space will use the findings to build a foundation for full-scale cryogenic fuel storage depots in orbit, which could enable longer-duration space missions. Before the mission could move ahead the technology underwent extensive testing at two separate Kennedy Space Center laboratories, where it was cleared. The payload was then shipped to Rocket Lab Headquarters in Long Beach, California, where LOXSAT is now undergoing joint environmental testing with the… Read More »Eta Space advances no-loss cryogenic space storage project | Cryogenics & Cryogenic Solutions
