Composite fiber/metal tanks are discussed, both their current uses and their specific Space Station applications. Design criteria are outlined. A detailed trade study is presented regarding selection of liner material and processing, fiber, resin, and operating pressure. Relationships between tank weight, fiber selection, and operating pressure are graphically illustrated. Resin and fiber selections as they apply to hypervelocity micrometeoroid impact are discussed. A scaled test demonstration of representative carbon/aluminum Space Station tankage is presented.
