Air Products’ working relationship with NASA began in 1957. It has included supplying NASA with liquid hydrogen and other industrial gases to advance the U.S. Space Program including Apollo, the Space Shuttle, and Orion. In addition to supplying industrial gases for space launches, Air Products also has had a long-term relationship with NASA’s engine testing program at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, Johnson Space Center in Texas, as well as Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

In 2025, Air Products completed the first fill of the world’s largest hydrogen sphere at the Kennedy Space Center. To complete the fill, Air Products delivered over 50 trailer loads of liquid hydrogen—over 730,000 gallons in all—to NASA’s new sphere. The NASA hydrogen sphere is the world’s largest liquid hydrogen tank, measuring 90 feet tall and 83 feet in diameter.
