A closed cryogenic storage tank in space may contain several bubbles. It is shown that these bubbles can oscillate in volume with n-1 resonant frequencies for n bubbles. The resonances can be excited by a sudden change in pressure, such as withdrawing fluid or venting, or by motion of the vehicle. In situations in which the AC accelerations dominate, such as in large space structures, the potential for harmful coupling of these oscillations to the spacecraft structure must be examined. Experimental data are presented which support the theoretical predictions
