cryogenic fuel

Cryogenic fuel refers to fuels stored at extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F). These temperatures keep gases like hydrogen and oxygen in a liquid state, which allows for more efficient storage and transportation. Cryogenic fuels are commonly used in space exploration, such as in rocket engines where liquid hydrogen and oxygen combine to produce powerful thrust. Handling these fuels requires specialized insulated tanks and safety measures to prevent warming and evaporation. Their high energy content makes them valuable for propulsion, but managing cryogenic fuels demands precise engineering due to their ultra-cold nature.
