A modular titanium tank and liner manufacturing approach is presented. Special forgings with long lead time and important recurrent and non-recurrent cost are avoided. Starting with standard forms of supply, special forming methods allow for quick and cost efficient accommodation to the spacecraft requirements. Even propellant tanks for pressure-fed engines are proposed to be CFRP over-wrapped for mass savings reasons. Skirt mounting is realized by integral CFRP wrapping on the vessel's own over-wrap. Compatibility problems are hence avoided. The approach to apply standard forms of supply has been qualified for the first time with the ATV propellant tanks. It is currently expanded to the whole field of spacecraft tanks in terms of hardware demonstration and with respect to the related engineering effort.
