One of the most critical issues when considering long-term space 1 exploration missions is the management and storage of cryogenic propellants. 2The exposure of storage tanks to radiation and extreme temperatures implies 3 the need of efficient technologies to counteract their effects on the fuel. A po-4 tentially dangerous effect for spacecraft operations is the generation of vapor 5 bubbles in cryogenic propellants. We present an experimental setup and pro-6 cedure to mature a technology based on acoustic waves to control boiling in 7 microgravity.8
