Summary

In the process of the preparation for start and after-flight service of a space orbital ship, that uses hydrogen-oxygen electrochemical generators as source of electric power, liquid hydrogen is under supercritical parameters in storage tanks of the preparation and gasification of reagents system. In the case of postponement or failure of start and also an official after-flight service of an orbital ship there is the problem of evacuation of hydrogen from tanks of the system of energy supply of the ship under supercritical parameters. Depending on the program of the flight of the orbital ship the primary quantity of hydrogen in tanks may be different (50, 75, 100%-fuelling), but under returning of the orbital ship on the landing complex the remainder of hydrogen in tanks of the ship will be 10-15% from the primary quantity.
