Revolutionizing Cryogenic Storage
US-based technology company Eta Space has achieved a significant milestone in cryogenic gas storage. The company successfully maintained large quantities of cryogenic gases for 18 months without any losses on the ground. This impressive feat demonstrates their expertise in handling these sensitive materials. Now, they aim to advance this technology into space.
Eta Space plans to establish a cryogenic propellant depot in low Earth orbit. This innovative step aims to tackle the challenges associated with cryogenic boil-off. By developing an in-orbit refueling system, they hope to enhance the efficiency of space missions. This initiative reflects a growing trend in the aerospace industry, focusing on sustainability and resource management in space.
