FIELD: spacecraft tanks for liquid and gaseous components under excessive pressure. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed tank has thin-walled shell of revolution and load-bearing attachment member in form of rod piercing the shell. Ends of rod are provided with fittings for securing it to shell. Attachment is mainly made by welding. Ends of rods are also provided with flanges having attachment units for securing them to adjacent structural members of spacecraft. Hollow rod consists of two pipes inserted one in other and welded together. Body of rod has holes in lower and upper parts. ^ EFFECT: increased net volume of tank; enhanced reliability. ^ 2 cl, 2 dwg |
