THE STORAGE & TRANSFER OF LIQUID OXYGEN FOR USE AS AN OXIDIZER IN ROCKET PROPELLANTSARCHIVE OF ORIGINAL HAND-DRAWN ENGINEERING PLANS RELATING TO THE STORAGE AND TRANSFER OF LIQUID OXYGEN AT THE GEORGE C. MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER. NASA, HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA, 8 JULY, 1968 Thirteen original hand-drawn engineering plans on vellum (34 by 22 inches), being: 1). Sheets 1-11 (of 11) CTL 114. Additional LOX Storage & Transfer System. 90M04001. Drawing dates 8 July, 1968; 2). Sheet 1 (of 1) Cell 501. LOX Dump Line Revision. 90M0416. Drawing date 7 November, 1969. 3.) Sheet 1 (of 1) Cell 501. LOX Dome Transition. 90M04105. Drawing date 7 March, 1969. AN EXCELLENT, FINELY DETAILED SET OF ENGINEERING PLANS RELATING TO THE STORAGE AND TRANSFER OF LIQUID OXYGEN AT THE GEORGE C. MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER. Liquid Oxygen (LOX) was used as an oxidizer for the propellant in all three stages of the Saturn V rocket, with the S-II & S-IVB stages using LOX in combination with LH2 (Liquid Hydrogen), and the S-IC stage using LOX in combination with RP-1 fuel. Liquid Oxygen was the cheapest and safest oxidizer for cyrogenic rocket engines, such as those found in the Saturn V rocket. Because of its cyrogenic nature, LOX can cause items that touch it to become extremely brittle, and thus, storing LOX poses special challenges.
