An assembly including a cryogenic fluid tank for a space vehicle and a thermal protection system for a cryogenic fluid tank of the space vehicle, the system including: a shell adapted to surround the cryogenic fluid tank, the shell being dimensioned to define an inside space between the shell and the tank; and an injector for injecting a cooling fluid spray into the inside space; the cooling fluid being injected into the inside space in the liquid state at a temperature that is adapted to ensure that the cooling fluid picks up the heat flux reaching the cryogenic fluid tank, thereby causing the cooling fluid to vaporize, the shell having a plurality of orifices adapted to allow the cooling fluid in gaseous form to leave inside space through the shell.
