The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
LOXSAT is a satellite-based technology demonstration built by Eta Space that stores and manages liquid oxygen in orbit, testing methods to minimize boil-off, transfer propellant between tanks, and measure cryogenic liquid levels in microgravity. The data gathered is meant to inform the design of future in-space propellant depots that could refuel spacecraft for lunar and deep-space missions.
