Report presents influence of various design parameters on storage time of liquid hydrogen in space; emphasis is placed on nonvented storage of subcooled liquid hydrogen in low geocentric orbit (300 nautical mi); report is based on 18-ft diam cylindrical tank with hemispherical bulkheads; calculations to determine storage times should be based on assumption of having stagnant fluid conditions in orbiting tank to obtain conservative results.
