Abstract
Very low temperatures are encountered in current and proposed missiles and space vehicles due to title use of cryogenic propellants such as liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen and due to the near absolute zero temperatures encountered under certain conditions in outer space. Tjerefore, the properties of engineering materials at these extreme subzero temperatures are becoming of prime importance to the design engineer.
