Oxidizer Tank

Weight-optimized nitrous oxide tank designed to hold nitrous oxide at 1000psi. Designed for easy dissassembly with bolted bulkheads that were CNC machined to have a hemispherical wall. The vessel was hydrostatically tested at 1500psi with no leaks evident.

Sucessfully launched at IREC 2019 to an altitude of 15,500ft!
