Open nab2 opened 7 years ago

nab2 commented 7 years ago

Need to develop testing procedures, safety, & location for experiments, as well as how/where/when we can obtain LOX. (Get in touch with liquid fuel test stand team as they are already working on this)

LOX can be purchased from Praxair Website: www.praxairdirect.com Contact: Steve_Schlossmacher@praxair.com

Cost for LOX is approximately $80 for 180L cylinder, dewar rental is $1.25/day, hazmat fee is $11.95

Chemistry Department might be willing to provide work space to use the LOX.

Andrew is contacting Air National Guard so we can tour their facility and learn about LOX safety.
