View of the stage's liquid oxygen (LOX) tank.

Picture 2 of 3.

The LOX held approximately 331,000 gallons (3,133,000 lbs) of liquid oxygen. The tank's wall is smooth, and its bulkheads extended into the corrugated intertank structure at aft and into the corrugated forward skirt at forward. The tank wall incorporated a Y-ring forward and aft, allowing attachment of the intertank and skirt.
