Summary
| Description |
English: From original document:
Figure 2 shows an internal cross section of the Starship vehicle immediately prior to impact with key vehicle hardware noted; station heights are given in millimeters relative to the full stack vehicle frame, which has an origin at the base of the Super Heavy booster. The location of residual liquid fuel (methane) is shown in the highlighted red region. During entry, the fuel main tank is isolated from the transfer tube such that liquid fuel residuals are fully contained within the approximately 13-meter long transfer tube that runs through the liquid oxygen (LOX) tank. The locations of residual LOX are shown in the highlighted blue regions. LOX residuals will exist in both the LOX main tank, the LOX header tank, and the LOX header tank feedlines. LOX main tank residuals will be mostly concentrated on the windward side of the tank due to the drag force experienced by the vehicle falling through the atmosphere. |
