The FL-T200 Fuel Tank is a liquid fuel tank containing liquid fuel and oxidizer.

It is twice the size of the FL-T100 Fuel Tank, and half the size of the FL-T400 Fuel Tank.

Product description

The T200 tank had some difficulty being accepted in the spacecraft engineering world, because most rocket builders had trouble overcoming their urges to squee at the "cute little fuel tank". This initial reaction was only put aside when the amount of fiery explosions in assembly areas became so high, strict guidelines were put in place to prohibit "teasing the fuel containers". The T200 Tank now is widely used in several space programs and does a remarkably good job, if assembled politely.

Usage

The FL-T200 Fuel Tank is a liquid fuel tank containing LF/O mix. This allows it to power liquid fuel rocket engines, like the LV-909 "Terrier" Liquid Fuel Engine. If there are multiple liquid fuel tanks connected to an engine, then they will all be drained equally to power it. [1] The FL-T200 can be placed both in-line and radially mounted.

When full, one tank can power a single LV-909 "Terrier" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 56.5 seconds at full thrust.

The FL-T200 is a good fit for Mun lander/return stages, due to its short profile. It can also be used for low-energy orbital maneuvers, like the FL-T100 Fuel Tank.
