A program has been proposed to NASA to develop a technology that will provide helium containment a the high strain levels required to create low mass tanks for in-space propulsion applications. The specific goal of the program is to develop linerless composite tanks that will successfully contain small molecule gases, such as, He, at 10,000 psia for a target mission life or 15 years.
