Abstract:
Development of the light-weight and high-strength tank for low temperature condition is one of the key areas of reusable launch vehicle(RLV) in the future. The advantages and feasibility of cryogenic composite tank are presented , and the development status of the tank is described. The discussions are focused on the selection of resins and fibers, design technology，the shapement of composite materials, and their complex performance tests. The development trend and the advices in the future are pointed out.
