Assessment Method for the peak pressure in a Gas Cushion of liquefied natural Gas Storage at Launch Complex if a Rollover

When using the liquefied natural gas in the rocket and space technology the possibility of a rollover during its storage exists. The article presents the assessment method for the peak pressure at a rollover start that allows choosing the terms of liquefied natural gas safe storage. According to the methodology to estimate the peak pressure the technological parameters of storage systems and component characteristics are defined.

The proposed method using allows considering the parameters of a rollover while designing the fuel storage systems at Spaceport Launch Complex.
