NASA, Industry Prepare Cryogenic Fuel Technology Demo

NASA is collaborating with Eta Space on an in orbit technology demonstration to advance a cryogenic fluid management technologies for future deep space missions.

NASA is collaborating with Eta Space of Rockledge, Florida, on an in‑orbit technology demonstration to advance a key capability for future deep space missions.

The Liquid Oxygen Flight Demonstration, or LOXSAT, will test cryogenic fluid management technologies necessary for creating in-space propellant depots, essentially gas stations in space, that could support long-term exploration.
