Cryogenics specialist Cryotherm GmbH & Co. KG has been commissioned to equip a new rocket test rig in Germany with supply lines of both liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX).
Powerful, modern rocket engines require liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as cryogenic fuels
Cryotherm’s customer is operating test facilities for rocket engines on its proving ground. Within this project, a new cryogenic upper stage for different launchers is under development. Test and qualification of the stage requires a new test facility, which will be situated on the test site in Germany.
Requirements for the testing phases of the new cryogenic upper stage at this test facility call for a guaranteed supply of LH2 and LOX for filling purposes. The LH2 supply is to be provided from an existing LH2 run tank at the test rig, while LOX is to be supplied via a LOX storage tank.
