Methane or LOX tank at Boca Chica
Space Exploration Asked on November 10, 2021
As we can see on this picture from Mary "@bocachicagal" on NASASpaceFlight, there are two types of tank near the test stand.
Some are black and others are white or bright and shiny metal, but why?
One Answer
Normally cryo tanks are painted white to reduce the heat absorption.
Maybe they paint them black because they want to increase the pressure inside them.
