Strength That Redefines Space Infrastructure
When most people think of rocket fuel tanks, they imagine something heavy, indestructible, and strong enough to handle anything. The reality is very different.
Most rocket fuel tanks are built with extremely thin walls to save weight. Because of that, often times, they can’t even rest on the ground without being pressurized. Without constant internal pressure, these tanks would buckle under their own weight - a phenomenon known as vehicle structural support.
That’s why standing on a Scorpius Type 5 linerless composite cryogenic tank is such a big deal. These tanks are designed and manufactured with world-first strength:
Unlike traditional thin-walled tanks, they don’t collapse when unpressurized.
They can withstand external forces without needing gas pressurization.
They’re lighter, stronger, and more scalable than metal or lined alternatives.
This strength isn’t just a cool engineering feat - it’s an infrastructure breakthrough.
With tanks like these, Scorpius is solving one of the biggest challenges in the space economy: affordable, scalable cryogenic propellant storage. From rockets and lunar missions to hydrogen infrastructure and defense systems, these tanks change the equation.
At EXOS Aerospace, we see this technology as the missing piece to build the future of reusable rockets and scalable space infrastructure. It’s why our team is working toward the planned acquisition of Scorpius Space Launch Company.
Because in a trillion-dollar space economy, strength matters - and Scorpius has it. 🚀
