Subject: SSRT: X-33 LOX tank passes hydrostatic proof test
A short news item in the current (December 8, 1997) issue of Aviation Week
& Space Technology states that the dual-lobed liquid oxygen tank for X-33
has passed its hydrostatic proof test. For the full story, and a picture of
this rather odd looking tank, see the "Passing Grade" item at:
