LOX
Supercooled breathing element
LOX is liquid oxygen, used as an oxidizer in rocket engines and spacecraft propulsion systems: The fuel tanks were loaded with LOX before launch.
The term is standard in aerospace engineering and rocketry contexts. (Lowercase lox is cured salmon, or sometimes the same aerospace abbreviation.)
