Yeah, sounds like another pricey ESA fantasy. Bet the real-world tests show cracks and costly delays.

Cutting weight with carbon-fibre tanks is key, but the real hurdle is ensuring these tanks survive long-term at -253°C without failure. ESA’s testing will be a real stress test for tech and safety.

Phoebus tanks cut weight big time, which should boost Ariane 6’s payload. But keeping carbon-fibre safe at -253°C? That’s still a tricky part they gotta nail down without leaks or cracks.

Lighter tanks sound good, but carbon-fibre at -253°C? Doubt it'll hold up under real stress. Testing better prove it or it’s a bust.

Weight saving sounds dope, but tech still feels shaky, man.

Cutting down weight with carbon-fibre tanks could boost Ariane 6’s payload capacity, which is cool. But keeping hydrogen liquid at -253°C without cracks is a serious engineering headache. They’ve shown it can work on small scales, but real tests on bigger tanks will prove if this is just hype or a r...

The Phoebus project, a European Space Agency (ESA) initiative in collaboration with ArianeGroup and MT Aerospace, focuses on replacing traditional metallic hydrogen tanks with carbon-fibre reinforced plastic tanks for the Ariane 6 rocket. The project aims to enhance the rocket's upper stage by reduc... [More info]
