Cryogenic liquid propellants boil off rapidly during long-term orbital and interplanetary storage.

open Global / Unspecified, Global WS02080

Hydrogen and oxygen boil off due to solar radiation in orbit, prohibiting long-duration storage for deep space stages. Advanced active cryocooling, sunshields, and zero-boil-off insulation technologies are required.
