Most rockets have a lot of liquid oxygen which exists at -297.3°F .. which is obviously very cold and so ice can form when something that cold interacts with normal temperatureWhy do rockets ice up when sitting on the pad? And why doesn’t the ice degrade their early acceleration? And why haven’t they figured out how to stop rockets from icing up?
I thought about all this when watching the rocket test last week.
