Composite Type-V pressure vessels
All-composite, linerless, unibody pressure vessels built with Hexcel carbon fiber and Sapphire 77 cryogenic resin. A vessel can serve as the primary structure of a launch vehicle or spacecraft.
Composite tanks and structures for launch vehicles
Scorpius specializes in rocket propulsion components for pressure-fed launch vehicles. Our Type-V tanks can be the primary structure of the vehicle.
What launch teams need from a tank
A launch vehicle carries its propellant in tanks that also carry flight loads. Fewer parts and less support hardware mean less mass and fewer places to fail.
What Scorpius offers
- Linerless Type-V pressure vessels that can serve as the primary structure of a launch vehicle.
- Unibody composite structures that combine the tank with primary and secondary support.
- A tridyne pressurization system that saves about 50% of the mass of the pressurant gas and tank.
Experience
- Scorpius partnered with Vaya Space on the largest propellant tank it has built. The tank will help boost a rocket into space.
- Scorpius has more than 30 years of experience.
- More than 20 commercial aerospace customers buy Pressurmaxx® cryogenic Type-V vessels.
