Air Liquide and ESA Develop Zero Boil-Off Storage for In-Space Refueling under Odyssey Programme

HYDROGEN

Air Liquide is partnering with the European Space Agency on the Odyssey programme to develop zero boil-off storage for on-orbit cryogenic fuel depots, aiming to facilitate microgravity refueling of liquid gases for long-duration space missions. This technology is crucial for preventing the evaporation of cryogenic propellants, supporting future exploration initiatives to the Moon and Mars. The collaboration builds on Air Liquide's extensive history in space transportation and previous research on gas production and storage in space.
