Rocket tanks experience extreme temperatures from cold propellants and friction created as NASA's deep space rocket, the Space Launch System, soars through Earth's atmosphere to space. An innovative robotic system sprayed thermal protection foam on the tank, shown here, that will hold the cryogenic liquid oxygen propellant for Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), the first integrated flight of SLS and the Orion spacecraft.
