PROPELLANT STORABILITY IN SPACE.

Abstract

Details of the preparation for the second series of tests in the Solar Environmental Simulation are discussed. Results of the second test series are compared with those obtained in the first test. In terms of steady state data, the second test yielded excellent results. The numerical information indicates that insulated tankage systems do not perform as well as predicted, but do give adequate protection for long term storage. The performance of large tanks is superior to that of smaller units. (Author)
