It will be one of the largest composite propellant tanks ever made and is scheduled to be pressure-tested in 2014 at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. John Vickers, the cryogenic tank project manager at Marshall said "The 18-foot (5.5-meter) tank will be one of the largest composite propellant tanks ever built and will incorporate design features and manufacturing processes applicable to a 27.5-foot (8.4-meter) tank, the size of metal tanks found in today's large launch vehicles."BI41302 (Cryotank-2)Maximum size:4000px × 3000px (~34 MB)13.3in × 10.0in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:Boeing Developmental Center-composites-cryogenic tanks-robots-TukwilaRelated Photo/Videos:View All
