A liquid hydrogen experiment as a Shuttle payload
Abstract
The paper describes the cryogenic fluid management experiment (CFME) as a Shuttle payload. The experiment includes a liquid hydrogen tank containing a fine-mesh screen acquisition device, and a thermal control system consisting of a thermodynamic vent system to intercept heat leak to the hydrogen tank and control tank pressure. Engineering data obtained will be used to establish design criteria for subcritical cryogenic storage and supply tankage.
