The analysis of construction and mass improvement of pressure vessels used in the products of rocket and space technology is considered. The analytical dependence determining the weight and the form-factor of pressure vessels power shells has been obtained. For a given project option of the pressure vessel the comparative mass indicators expressed through the formfactor for spherical, cylindrical and toroidal cylinders and curved pipes made of metals and unidirectional composite materials by winding are presented.
