    What is a launch vehicle’s propellant densification?

    Propellant densification refers to the process of cooling cryogenic propellants to extremely low temperatures, close to their freezing points. By densifying the propellants, launch vehicles can increase their propellant storage capacity, reduce tank volumes, and improve overall performance. Propellant densification is commonly used in cryogenic rocket engines.
