Liquid Oxidizer Tank

The Liquid Oxidizer Tank is the game building used to supply Liquid Oxygen for rocket propulsion. In rocket staging and design, Liquid Oxygen functions as an oxidizer that increases a fuel’s thrust-to-mass ratio, making rockets more efficient and improving their acceleration and payload capacity when combined with proper fuels and engines.

Liquid Oxygen directly affects rocket performance by increasing the effective thrust per unit mass of rocket fuel. When rockets consume fuels that use Liquid Oxygen as their oxidizer, the resulting thrust-to-mass ratio is higher than with fuels that lack this oxidizer, allowing shorter burn times or greater payloads for a given engine and mass.

• Use Liquid Oxygen with compatible rocket fuels and engines to maximize thrust efficiency.
• Supplying rockets with Liquid Oxygen will raise their thrust-to-mass ratio, which improves acceleration and can increase achievable range or payload for the same launch mass.
• Plan plumbing, storage, and delivery so rockets have access to Liquid Oxygen at launch; interruptions in oxidizer supply reduce the expected thrust benefit.
